Default All windows opened - it's a mystery

Parked the car in front of the house and came out 30 minutes later to find all of the windows rolled down and the sunroof open. Doors were all locked, nothing missing from the car. Any possibility that I could have triggered this via the key remote somehow? Is it most likely a short in the electrical system? Otherwise I need to figure out if someone was trying to get into my car.

If you hold down the unlock button on the fob, all the windows and sunroof will open as well as the doors unlocking. Is it possible you sat on the fob or something and triggered this behaviour? Note that if you unlock via the fob but don't enter the car after a few minutes the doors will re-lock.

Thank you, that is very likely what happened, I just wasn't aware that it could happen. I appreciate the quick response, I was honestly worried that someone had tried to get into the car somehow.

You can have that feature turned off by the dealer.
