So 2nd day in a row I come back to the car unlocked and mirrors out. :-/

Lock it at home and its still locked in the morning.

Park same place at work. Locked it.Mirrors close... Double checked locked. ---- Came back about 7pm unlocked and mirrors out.

Even If I unlock it the mirrors stay in unless doors are opened.

Anyone have any ideas? I know computers get replaced when cars start doing this but its only at work thats weird...

I had sort of similar when I came out to my S212 to find the boot open. It was a freezing day and the car wasn't any colder inside so I presume it happened from accidentally pressing the keyfob whilst getting ready to go out. I find the fob buttons too easily pressed, perhaps something similar happened to you?

Hmm no it auto locks.

So If I lock it... walk off.. press open .. but don't actually open a door after 2 min or so it re-locks.

security going to go through cctv this eve...

Unlocked would be curious... but mirrors out also. hmm

I've read of faulty door pin switches causing this, though that does not explain why you only experience this at work.

How long do you hang around after locking it at work?

I wonder if someone is trying to steal it from your workplace. I'd buy a steering lock and fit it at work to deter theives.

The mirrors out is the weird thing.
To me that says that there is a problem with the driver or passenger door (I think mirrors pop out on mine when I open passenger door first!)

Try a manual lock with the key to see it repeats.
