OK. Every once in a while we all need a good laugh. This story is a true story and is totally laughable and sad at the same time. While you read the story think of how differently things could have worked out if there had been an alarm system like the Voice Alert System 6 to warn the car owners.

There was a man who stole a Porsche Carrera and got caught. He was charged with grand theft auto, and was told that he was to appear in court. No problem, except for one thing. He had no transportation. That’s why he stole such a high profile car to begin with. Maybe he thought he would totally blend in driving in a car worth over $100,000. Wrong. That’s why he was going to court. Police didn’t think he blended well.

What was the next logical move for the 37 year old San Francisco hair stylist? Yes, you know but just don’t want to think it out loud. He stole another car. He had to get to court!

So, he stole a Lexus SUV - keys and all. Police noticed the SUV when people started to gather around it because there were several Yorkshire Terriers wandering around inside the car.

The result was that he was convicted in the Porsche crime and then charged with receiving a stolen vehicle, receiving stolen property and animal cruelty for leaving the puppies in the vehicle. It doesn’t get much more ridiculous than this.

The serious side to this is that there could have been a way for the real owners of both cars to avoid having them stolen. The Voice Alert System 6 is an annunciator system featuring wireless PIR sensors transmitters and a remote receiver/speaker base unit. Users record their own alert messages and are then notified with their own voice message when activity in a monitored area is detected. Key applications include:

The Voice Alert System 6 can be used to monitor your home or office. It can monitor your driveway - in case a child is around, or in case someone is trying to steal your car. Since it is wireless and covers an area of up to 1000 feet - even through walls and up staircases - it will alert you in your own voice with a message you record that something is happening in a particular area. In the case above, the monitor could have said that there was movement in the garage or the driveway, which would have alerted the owner of the cars to investigate and prevent the cars from being stolen.

Protect yourself in advance. The Voice Alert System 6 is effective and affordable. It can keep your cars, your children and your home safe.

Imagine being able to know who is going in and out of your home even if you are not there. Let’s say you’re out for the day and you aren’t expecting anyone. You get home and notice that a number of things are out of place and your stereo system is gone, along with other valuables. You go to your neighbor’s in the apartment or townhome next door and ask if they heard or saw anything. They tell you that they noticed a guy come out of your apartment and get into his car with a box in his hands, but they thought it was a friend of yours. It never occurred to them that this was a burglar.

This happens thousands of times in thousands of neighborhoods around the country! There is now a creative and effective tool that can help stop these burglaries.

The TeleSpy was invented to allow you to know who is in your home at any time. The TeleSpy is a telephone, motion sensor and microphone all in one. It works by actually calling you at a number you program into the phone, if the motion detector detects motion.

In the scenario above, as soon as the burglar triggered the motion sensor, the phone would have automatically dialed the number you programmed (probably your cell phone), and you would have been able to hear through the TeleSpy’s microphone what was going on at your home. Once you determined that something wasn’t right, you could immediately call the police so they could take action to check on the activity in your home.

The TeleSpy is unique, creative and affordable. It allows you to stop intruders without putting yourself in danger, since it calls to alert you wherever you are, allowing you to get help before you return to your home. The TeleSpy looks like a regular princess phone and re-sets itself after every call. It is perfect for use in small homes and apartments or as a backup for a larger home with a security system.

If you are trying to protect your home and stay informed as to what is happening when you are not there, the TeleSpy is the most effective tool to get the job done.

There are a high number of home invasions and burglaries these days and people are looking for ways to avoid them. There are many ideas about the best way to effectively protect your home at an affordable price.

One of the best methods of protection available is the Mace Motion Alert and the Mini Alert Alarm. Both alarms use passive infared technology to detect motion in various areas.

The Mace Motion Alert protects a large area and mounts where you want it to, usually near an entry. Since it is battery operated there is no need for wiring. It can be used with a two-tone chime or an alarm and you can enter a personal code similar to a pin number to activate and deactivate the alarm.

The Mini Alert Alarm is similar to the Mace Motion Alert, however it is designed to protect one room by creating a triangle of infared protection that cannot be passed or penetrated without setting off the alarm. The Mini Alert Alarm also runs on batteries so that no wiring is required, and it comes complete with mounting brackets.

Both the Mace Motion Alert and the Mini Alert Alarm will protect you from intruders by sounding a loud warning alarm, which is one of the things that intruders and burglars hate the most. They definitely do not want to call attention to themselves, so they will usually flee from the scene as quickly as possible. The alarms are loud enough to signal distress and warn you quickly enough to dial 911 in a hurry.

If you are looking for an effective and reliable source of protection for your home at a reasonable price, look no further than the Mace Motion Alert or the Mini Alert Alarm. They will work for you every time.

A Man’s Home is his Castle, and now thanks to the new law going into effect on Tuesday called the Castle Doctrine he can protect it more fully.

The Castle Doctrine States:

The language in Senate Bill 184, which takes effect Tuesday, Sept. 9, states that the law known as the “Castle Doctrine” will “create a rebuttable presumption that a person acted in self defense or defense of another when using defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to another if the person against whom the defensive force is used is in the process of entering or has entered, unlawfully and without privilege to do so, the residence or vehicle occupied by the person using the defensive force.”

While many critics are concerned that this law will become more of an excuse than a viable justification there are still many options besides lethal force.

We all feel obligated to defend our families and ourselves, we also have the right to choose how much force we employ. There are several discreet and temporarily disabling self defense tools that will allow you time to usher your family to safety and call the police.

Tasers, Stun Guns, Mace and Animal Repellents are all excellent alternatives to lethal force. It is a personal decision but it merits reflecting on an age old question; Does the end justify the means?
