Ever hear this great safety tip? Use Panic Button on car door lock key pad to call for help inside your home?

Question

I thought this was such a great idea, I just had to share it. You know how most remote car door key pads have a "Panic Button." Most people get at least two remotes. Besides putting one on your key chain, keep one at the bedside or even on a chain around your neck. Then if you ever feel threatened or are in a situation where you can't reach a phone, you punch the panic button setting off the car alarm, which should scare away an intruder and/or get someone to come investigate.

Most car remotes reach quite a few feet away from the car, but test it in your house to make sure it works for you. If so, pretty cool, huh?

Answer 1

Car alarms going off are such a common thing anymore that people tend to ignore them.  I doubt that anyone would even think about checking inside your house if the car started making noise.

Answer 2

yeah, in my neighborhood, people wouldn't even bother to look in the direction of the alarm. h**l, gunshots don't even scare anyone anymore.

Answer 3

I use it to freak out the kids that play around my vehicles and once it done they run for the hills, pretty funny...

Answer 4

I tried this from my home and it does work even through aluminum siding. in most cases a horn going off at night will at least cause people to wonder, where during the day you hear them all the time without a second thought.
