Why bother buying expensive security home alarm systems, when you can....

Put your car keys beside your bed at night.

Tell your spouse, your children, your neighbors, your parents. 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.

Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can't reach a phone.
 
Good fallback idea, but don't most people ignore car alarms?

I'm thinking of installing an exterior siren and strobe light for my home security system. That, or get a rottweiler.
 
I think that deserves to at least try it a few times. Better than having Pit bulls or body guards.
 
Alarm, guard dog, firearms, long nasty blades with laser sharp edges.

I'm a suspenders AND belt kind of guy.
 
This is my home security system

You've must have pissed off a lot of people in your lifetime!:wink2:

I really don't worry about it. No alarm, no firearms, no baseball bat under my bed. I'd probably offer the bastard a beer and talk him to death!
 
Laser sharp or razor sharp?

The car alarm is good if :
a) you are a light sleeper
b) you are home

After I've found people wandering on my property rooting around for "stuff" and midnight visitors to my place I started to think that my secluded home isn't as secure as I want.
Nothing says "Good morning" like being woken at 4 am by police cars in your driveway after a night out with friends to discover that some little prick stole your lawn jockey.
