Just before 6am the alarm went off presumably something to do with the very cold weather? There was no wind or rain. The odd thing was that it seemed to be a bit quieter than the usual alarm volume, the indicators weren't flashing and it would not respond to the plipper so I can't get in to have a look.
Believe it or not it's still alarming 14 hours later, albeit very quietly but I still can't get in.
Any ideas what the problem might be and how do I get in? Never occurred to me before that there's nowhere to put a key!
I think there is reluctance to advertising this info on here for obvious reasons so feel free to pm me.
PS I'm NOT a thief!!
Thanks

Cant help you get in, but that sounds like your car battery is dead. The voltage drop will cause the alarm to go off, with the alarm running off its internal battery. As that goes flat it will get quieter and quieter....
