I was all set to write in today's blog about the latest in pearl
jewelry trends when I got this tip in my in-box from my dad.
Since I live about a mile from where the infamous Cheshire Home
Invasion happened a few weeks ago, and am understandably freaked out,
I thought it was worth passing on.
MULTI-TASK YOUR CAR ALARM:
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 in your
house, odds are the burglar or 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, male or
female. Maybe it could save a life or prevent a sexual abuse crime. It
would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, when
you can't reach a phone.
Makes sense, no?
