Car alarm went off twice this evening while locked inside my closed garage. I obviously checked and no one in there. Anybody else have similar issues. I live in the NE and the weather is just starting to get warm (first time owning this car in hot/humid weather). I'm not sure if the sensor gets condensation and activates or if possible some bugs (again, in the NE the bugs are bad the first few days of warmer weather) are enough to trip the sensors. I ended up restarting the car and turning off the inside sensors so I didn't have to listen to the alarm all night.

If a moth or mouse gets in your car that can set it off.

I think Lee meant to write "in your car".

Yes, mine went off twice as well, come to find out there was a big moth flying around in there. Definitely was the culprit.
