Was someone in my car?

[Scouzer]

I have an 06 Pontiac Pursuit GT with the factory car alarm. I remember when I got it as I glanced through the manual I saw a useful feature--if someone has set off the car alarm since last time you armed it, it will honk 3 times the next time you unlock the doors. I guess this is so you are warned maybe someone is in your backseat waiting to car jack you.

The car alarm can only be set off by opening the doors. There are no other sensors. Today I go to my car and unlock it, and it honks 3 times. WTF? I look around carefully--windows intact, locks intact, and nothing is disturbed on the inside. WTF? As far as I can tell no one was in the car, or if they were they didn't touch anything at all.

Creeped me right out, I still don't know why or how this would happen. It's as if someone had a key to my car but they didn't have the fob to shut off the car alarm when they got in. I double checked and I still have both keys to my car.

EDIT: Fack. I guess this may belong in garage. You can move this I guess mods.

Watch your back, little Scouzer. Watch your back.

maybe someone bumped your car.. the alarm went off.. then shut itself off?

as said in my post, the only sensor is when the door is opened. there's no bump sensor, proximity sensor, etc.

If there are footprints on the ceiling, someone was in your car

Don't bother looking in the glove compartment, I did NOT shit in there, FYI. No way, no how. Don't even look.

 

[Cyco]

Yes. Someone was in your car. Maybe they fapped in it. God forbid you find the "gravy".

spiderpig is not a car thief!

Are you seriously expecting someone to be able to tell you if someone was in your car?

Not really. But theories as to why my car alarm would behave like this would be interesting. I would really like to know if someone was in my car!!!

It's a Pontiac, so there's a 99.99% chance it malfunctioned.

Maybe he pissed off the mob? There could be a bomb waiting to go off in his car.

It's a CANADIAN Pontiac, so there's a 99.99% chance it malfunctioned.

my grand am has over 175k miles with nary a problem, hows yours doing? Have you ever personally owned one or are you just pulling that out of your ass?

LOL.

BTW, my BMW has over 190,000km and doesn't really cost me anything in maintenance, therefore all BMW's are 100% reliable all of the time, up to at least 190,000km and probably higher.

He's still crouched behind the backseat, waiting for the perfect time to strike.

I knew it! I will never let someone talk me out of buying a BMW because of maintenance costs.

I'll make him THINK something just has to be missing. Or he'll never figure it out until a few months later, when he goes "OMG where is it?!"

The mental torture of the situation is SO worth the risk.

Oh sorry, I pooped in your cup holder.

It probably malfunctioned, like everything else on that POS would.

190000km < 175k miles, so he still wins. Make fun of GM all you want, but a company that makes more money than the entire country of NZ's GDP combined probably is doing something right.

Well when you've been scamming people for generations, it kind of helps
