That's a very good idea Lynne, glad you shared it!

Thanks Lynn---
I am sending this to my DD's too.

That's a great idea but my car is too old to have that feature.

that'd be me too, except the oldsmobile, and it's crunchied... officially totaled now.

My old olds doesn't have an alarm either. But it is a good idea.
