What kind of temperatures do these freeze at? There's been some extreme cold up here, and i don't recall ever having these kinds of trouble. Also, how would you know if these froze? Would the car not start?
it may be like garage door openers...your neighbor may have the same system tuned in to the same frequency....
that's kinda funny though, if I was your neighbor, I'd mess with you all the time too
the fun side is that you can do the same them them as well

Interesting.
I had a remote start system installed 2-3 months ago, the keys are downstairs hanging up on a key holder (the buttons couldnt have depressed on accident)
Any ideas?
K.I.S.S.
That's what I first thought. What model remote start, and who did the install?
Take it back, have them clear it and reprogram it from scratch.

A rolling code can still stop at the same code as your neighbor's. Our company install's garage doors and this has happened to our installer 2 times in fifteen years. Press the button and both the neighbours and the door he just installed go up.

Only from 3 of them, and they are doing it again tonight....
It says a threat call, but i dunno, they seem to make that noise alot of the time and i've never seen em fight. They pretty much scamper off when we get close.
I doubt it is temperature based - that would require the unit to have a temperature sensor, which you'd probably know about.
However, if it was not just a random fluke (IE remote sent out a signal for no reason, electronics went berzerk for no reason, total random chance RF interference) then it IS possible that the remote start was set to start the car if your battery voltage dropped below a certain threshold. I think that's a feature that some have that you might legitimately not know about.
However, like everyone else said - take the car back to the shop that installed it and ask them to check it out. At the very least you should ask them to reset the RF code to something new (if that's possible).

Actually, I didn't see any sort of auto start - check your owners manual. I found this online under "Timer Mode" - it sounds possible that this is what happened (you can always wait 3 hours and see if it does it again..haha):
