If your auto key fob has a panic button keep it close at hand when you go to bed.

Should someone attempt to break into your home or where you are staying, press the “Panic” button on the fob. The alarm/horn on your vehicle will likely scare away the intruder. Assuming that your car is parked close to where you are sleeping!

An audio sensor will retract the door on the cage, allowing the wolverine to attack the intruder. People don’t want to come stay as my house guest for some reason.

Because he was always setting the darn thing off by accident.

If you heard the car alarm wailing away, you knew Dad was going to the hardware store …
