If you have a spare set of keys, ones with a panic button on them, keep them in your nightstand. That way if you hear anything spooky outside your house at night, like someone either breaking into a neighbor’s house or your house, you can quickly grab your spare set and sound the alarm. That is a sure fire way to stop a criminal in their tracks, and get lots of eyes awake and looking around outside.

Thank God I’ve never had to do this but this is one of my favorite life pro tips!
