Default automatic door locking?

I have had my 2008 GS 350 since January. About 3 weeks ago, I noticed that when I park my car in the evening (in the garage) with the doors unlocked, sometimes the doors will be locked the next morning. This didn't use to happen and it is intermittent, but does seem to be happening more frequently. Not a problem really, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed the car locking itself overnight. Is this normal? I can't think of anything I did to make the behavior change. At first I thought maybe I was accidently hitting the lock button on the remote fob, but I have been very careful while fishing it out of my pocket... and it still locks by itself. I lock the doors with the door handle button every place else, but I don't lock it in my garage. I use all the factory default settings for the door locks (and everything else).

Do I have a Lexus ghost in my gargage?

I could not find this topic in the manual.

Thanks

If you unlock the door from your house and not open the door for 30 seconds, the doors will lock itself back, but I dont think that is the problem in your case. Did you recently buy any new electronic device in your house, new garage door opener? Maybe someone else is playing with your keys?

Funny you mentioned this. I noticed on quiet a few occasions when I forget to lock my car at work, I come back and it’s locked. Hmm…
