Alarm sensitivity?

[hotsaucewizard]

Hey y’all, I’m about a year and 10k miles in and randomly went outside to grab something out of my car and the alarm was going off.. I’m 99.9% certain I didn’t do it from the fob based on how far away it was.

I spent a good ten minutes walking around the car with a flashlight trying to find damage or signs of tamper but couldn’t find anything. The only goofy thing that happened is when I hit unlock my gas door popped open.

Has anyone else had something like this happen? I don’t want to spend an hour looking around the car tomorrow morning just to never find anything lol thanks

Best I can figure is someone bumped or pried the gas door hard enough to trigger something? It’s never popped open on its own just from unlocking. That being said I looked pretty closely at the paint around the edges and don’t see any scratching nor a dent in the area.

The gas gap came off kinda goofy (?) but I’m sure that’s late onset paranoia

My guess would be you didn't thread the gas cap on correctly after last refill and the evaporated gas built up pressure under the gas "door"? The alarm sensor could pickup the pressure buildup as an attempt to force open the door? But I'm not even sure it's possible to close it if the cap isn't completely tighten down so I may be way off on my theory
