If you do not have an alarm system in your home, one great way to compensate for this would be to keep your car keys on a bed stand, or dresser in your bedroom. This will allow you to activate your car’s alarm in lieu of a traditional in-home alarm. While this won’t call the police in your area to respond, it will make a large noise to deter criminals from breaking into your home, in most instances. Criminals don’t like having attention drawn to them in almost all cases. Prior to taking this step for you and your family’s security, ensure that the remote location in your home will not allow the cars locking mechanism to activate. Normally, the panic button on your vehicle key fob has a much greater distance then the cars remote start/unlock distance.
