I recently received this email from a friend. I thought it was good advice and wanted to pass it along
Next time you come home for the night and put your keys away, think of this: It's a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation.
Start keeping your car keys next to your bed on the night stand when you go to bed at night. If you think someone is trying to get into your house, or if you hear a noise outside your house, just press the panic alarm on your car key chain.
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 in your house, odds are the burglar or 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.
Try yours to make sure it works before you rely on it. Just know that you must press the alarm button again to turn it off. And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there.

other good reasons to carry your keys as you approach your car are that if necessary, they can help ward off an attacker (if you have to hit them, keys can be weapon or make punch harder) and you won't have to stop beside your car long, you can just unlock and get in. I usually make sure I have my car door key in hand and ready long before I'm at my car-- just in case.
