Could Your Car’s Electronic Key Fob Save Your Home From a Break-in?

Here's a way to sleep a little better at night that I discovered on Facebook today:put your car keys with the electronic key fob right next to your bed so that if you hear what sounds like an someone trying to break into your home, you can then press the car alarm button on the key fob to scare the intruder away.  It's a simple idea that apparently came from a neighborhood watch coordinator.  Don't worry, if it turns out that it's not an intruder, you can easily turn off the car alarm with the same button you pressed to activate it.

If you don't want to use the panic button for that, then you can certainly aggravate your neighbors by setting it off at random.
