I feel bad for my neighbors who have a small baby and when I stop at the store the manager knows laughs when I go inside as the alarm goes off on exiting the car and he says he knows who's coming.

Car alarm is going off at random times and power door locks lock on their own - sometimes with keys in the ignition and car running! I learned to keep my windows open, or have an extra key handy just in case. Took it to the garage and the VW mechanic said it was a bad alarm control module and it had to be replaced. He said he could just unplug the alarm control module, but that I would lose my power door locks. I got it fixed and haven't had any problems with it since.
