    Stayed with my OH few nights ago and parked my car round the side of his house.

    Came down in the morning to find all the windows wide open and where the rain was going in the windows it was setting my alarm off!

    Can't think why i would do this?

    It was only like it for a couple of hours before i realised, must have been about 7am ish that it did it we've worked out.

    I wonder if his neighbours unlocking their car with their remote fob (they have an audi too) ?

    I can't think why else it might have done it, its not done it before!

    Definitely aliens! Unless it's haunted. There's always a logical explanation!

    Take a look at this thread: https://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/s...ad.php?t=23391

    Seems it's not uncommon.

    All well and good except i don't keep my keys in my pockets....

    Keys are kept in my bag, and the car was locked and all normal at 6am (someone looked at it then and all windows were up) it wasn't until after 7am that the alarm started going off and the windows were down, and i was still in bed so hadn't touched my bag or keys!!

    So i am still baffled then.....

    Leaves me a bit worried about leaving it overnight luckily it is parked on driveways but still...

    Far be it from me to make any kind of stereo typical remarks about a ladies bag, however, being honest, you girls do tend to place everything including the kitchen sink in there, so perhaps something in your bag was pressing the button or leaning on, like a purse etc?

    Just a thought

    But my bag had been in the same place and not moved since about 11.30pm the previous night... so how would something have pressed on it at 7am ish? If i hadn't touched it? Hadn't fallen off anything either as it was on the floor....

    PS i don't carry that much around!!
