1. A vehicle occupant detection and alerting system adapted to a vehicle not equipped with an alarm system comprising:
- a. a vicinity motion detector comprising a magnetic off and on switch, the detector being automatically armed when the vehicle'"'"'s ignition is turned off and, once armed, the detector further-sends a trigger signal;
b. a wireless transmitter that sends a signal to one or more synced mobile devices;
c. a first relay that receives a trigger signal from the detector and further powers the vehicle'"'"'s turn signal flasher, the turn signal flasher then sends a trigger signal;
d. a second relay that receives a signal from the turn signal flasher and further powers the vehicle'"'"'s parking lights in a flashing mode, the parking lights then send a trigger signal;
e. a third relay that receives a signal from the parking lights and further triggers powering the vehicle'"'"'s horn;
f. a magnetic means that turns off the vicinity motion detector upon being waved near the vicinity motion detector'"'"'s magnetic off and on switch;
g. the vicinity motion detector further stays in the “
off”
position if within a pre-determined period of time unless the user opens the vehicle door and turns the vehicle'"'"'s ignition to the “
