Car Security Systems
Let me tell you about something that happened to me a few years back.
I had just arrived at a clinic, where I was taking my teenage daughter
in for a check-up. As I strolled casually through the parking level, I
noticed that we were a bit late. I encouraged my daughter to hurry. Just
as we were exiting the parking level, a man approached us, wanting my
help with his car. He claimed that he couldn't get it started. And, for
some odd reason he thought I would be able to.
Yeah right! I know nothing about cars, and this sounded like a lure
to me. My guess is he wanted to get me in the right position so that he
could use my daughter against me. Maybe a robbery or something. I told
him I was in a hurry and moved on. After the appointment was through,
and we were returning to our vehicle, a blaring car security alarm
echoed through the parking level. It seemed as though the man tried to
assault a woman, but she sounded her car alarm, and a nearby police
officer responded. He was now in hand cuffs. And yes, the lady was very
fortunate.
What can a car security system do for you? Hmm, let's see; there are a
number of beneficial features. First you have the obvious
attention-getting alarm noise. You can set this off from your keychain
at any time in order to draw eyes and scare off predators. It really
does work. Criminals dread tons of attention. They want to move about
unnoticed.
Secondly, most car security systems have simple driver's side door
access. You thumb the UNLOCK button once and it only unlocks the
driver's door, hence leaving you less vulnerable.
Then there's the remote start feature. You can literally start your
vehicle's engine as you approach it. All while keeping it on lock-down.
This makes for a speedy getaway.
Other features you may enjoy are sensor alarms and noise alarms. If
you have a convertible, the top can be left down and still secured. If
someone reaches inside, the car security alarm will sound. If a window
is shattered, the alarm system will activate and scream to draw
attention.
Let's not forget about one of the obvious advantages to a high-tech car
security system. Keeping predators and criminals out! The last thing you
want is for a thug to creep into your vehicle and hide out while you're
at work or in a shopping center. This would make for an awful surprise.
Keep your vehicle armed and you have nothing to worry about. |
