How Your Car's Alarm Can Be Used to Avoid Being a Victim of a Thief

It seems that more people would benefit if they had the panic button that comes with most car alarms now days. About a week ago, an elderly lady was doing her shopping for the week. On exiting the store she seen a suspicious looking man around his twenty's sneaking around her car and looking inside. She backed up back into the store and pushed the button to set the alarm off. She was about 150 feet away. The would-be thief was startled and ran off. The lady thankful for that little piece of technology! This also gave this woman another idea; Put your car keys next to your bed at night.

Just like alarms for your home, invaders are detoured from the crime if and alarm is in place and active. Statistically, thieves and burglars look for houses that do not display a home security system sign.
