Leave Car Keys on Bedside Table


Silver Post Medal for All Time! 255 Posts

A car key and remote on a bedside table.I keep my car keys beside my bed on my beside table for two reasons.

  1. I know where they are. They are not sinking to the bottom of my purse, or left behind in a jacket I may not wear again for several weeks or laid down somewhere lost.

  2. They are part of my home security program. Should I hear someone outside or trying to get into my car, I hit the panic button on my keys. It sends them running and alerts the neighbors. Twice, I had someone trying to break into my car in years past and I used this to scare them off. Once, a neighbor heard the commotion and he caught them. He was a cop, off duty. This is one of the tips I tell my students when I teach my safety classes.

Yes it is good to keep our car keys at the same spot all the time so we know at all times where it is!

Quite a long time before car alarms I was awakened by an intruder in my home. Because I am a teacher i carried a whistle on my key ring which I grabbed and started making lots of noise.

Scared the intruder who ran off and awoke neighbors who ran in.

Tip: More Easy Security Tips
I recommend keeping both your keys and purse/billfold in your bedroom at night. My home was broken into at night by a serial rapist. When he was in my room, he asked me my name--info gleaned, along with my cash, from my purse in the living room. If he had taken my purse or billfold, he would have permanently had more of my personal and financial information. Keeping my keys by my bed, and sleeping with a locked bedroom door have helped me feel more secure. I also know where to find my purse and keys each morning. Remember, too, that if keys are left in sight, anyone with access to your home could take a set, leaving your house, car, etc. vulnerable.
