There is a reason you should take eveything out of your pockets when you sleep at a camp out. This was Cub Scout camping and some adult did not remove his keys. He rolled over or somehow pressed the alarm button early in the morning. Once one car alram went off, the other half alseep adult started pressing their alarm buttons to run of "their" alarm. Well, you know where this goes - soon every car with a remote and alarm was blasting away. I had a similar incident happen to me with my car in my garage so it wasn't quite so bad. I prefer my Saabs to have manual transmission, crank down windows . . . and not be made by GM :-)
