Car key security

[Glen]

Put your car keys beside your bed at night

Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents, your Dr's office, and the check-out girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put your car keys beside your bed at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won't stick around. After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won't want that. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there. This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.

Very good tip there, Glen, and one probably not thought of often.

Thanks for posting.

I can't take the credit for this. All I did was copy/paste from another forum. Please pass it along.

i dont think ill bother... we dont need alarms in australia... thats what we all have boxing kangaroos for, plus they are quieter than dogs.

Assailant, From what I keep reading, they've taken all the firearms away from honest citizens 'Down Under' and your neighbors would have a problem coming to your rescue anyway....

How do you go about training one of your "Boxing 'Roos" to patrol your property??

[assailant]

yeah.. we have to be licenced to shoot spit balls in this country..

its a massive drama for even the lowest of low powered rifles.
but not surprisingly, the crooks still seem to have their guns while all the honest citizens were stripped of their semi autos, etc.

to be honest, i havent managed to train skippy yet... probably because its more fun to shoot them
