Re: It may be the ghosts of Christmas past...

But my track car, which has been more or less in hibernation since VIR in early November, decided to set off its alarm every few hours ( when locked).
I took the car on nits sorta-monthly long drive, to Christmas Dinner about 45 minutes away. Nice long highway drive. All good, aside from the junk tires on it for sitting through the winter.
Came home, locked it up, began reading "A Christmas Carol" and the ghosts began. Coincidence? I think not.
Anyway - it continued later that night and twice the next morning. Always shit up if I aimed the key at it and pushed the lock/reset button. Car remained locked by the way. In finally unlocked it and of course all is quiet.
There were no high winds, and after the 2nd occurrence i disregard kids or a stray cat.
Anything you all can think of? I'd like to simply disarm the alarm anyway.
Maybe i need to repent.

You could try to repent. Ya, never know.... ;)
On a more realistic level, I'd still wonder about stray cats or other animal, which may have been wanting a warm place to relax. (Assuming the car was still warm after a 45 minute drive)
