Hello, kids! Happy Sunday! Today's Tip is one I received via email. It
may be a good idea for some folks. Scroll on down and check it out.

CAR KEYS AT YOUR BEDSIDE

Put your car keys beside your bed at night.

If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get into 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. The alarm will go off from most everywhere inside your house. It works whether 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 won't stick around. After a few seconds, all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there, and you can be sure a criminal won't want that.

Also, remember to carry your keys in your hand while walking to your car in a parking lot. If an emergency arises, hit the panic button on your car key, and it should scare away a potential attacker.

Hook if you like that tip!

What happens if you push the wrong button and the motor starts - the burglar can drive away in it. Pressing the right button is important.
