Dear Queenie,
I’m a senior citizen who lives alone. I always keep my car keys with me even when I am at home because in an emergency if I can’t reach my phone I can always push the panic button and set off the horn of my car so my neighbors will know something is wrong.
Queenie, I thought you might like to pass this idea along to your other readers.—Cautious Cathy
Dear Cathy,
Thank you for your suggestion. But may I add that you should be sure to inform your neighbours that if your car horn starts blaring it may mean you are in trouble and you would like for them to check on you. Car alarms do go off spontaneously so often that people just tend to ignore it.
