Russians
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Aftermarket. If it started from someone else would, it keep running or time out after the 12 minute warm up time it is set for?

Got to be either aliens or bigfoot  :chuckle:.  Just kidding of course.

Do you have a buddy/neighbor that is messing with you?  Kinda reminds me of the scene in Grumpy Old Men where one of them is changing channels on the others tv.

I don’t think so?? I did get broken into for about the 6th time in 10-15 years about 3 weeks ago. They just took my change. I will call the place that put it in and ask them what’s up.

Thanks everyone

Fob could be bad or someone has a fob with same frequency near by.
I had a bad key for my company truck, it would glitch out about three to four times a month just out of the blue and it would trigger the panic button and the damn alarm would go off for ten minutes. I replaced they key and haven't had a problem since.
