Default weird alarm problem

hey guys i just came from work and.. i parked my car in my drive way after i was upstairs at my home my car alarm went on.. bip bip bip bip bip


then i fastly go and see what was about.. but nothing.. i thought maybe someone pushed the car or tryed to open the door.. so i closed the alarm locked back the doors.. alarm was armed..

on my way up AGAIN the alarm went on.. i was surprised..

then i unlocked the door and locked again .. 2 minutes after the alarm is armed the alarm start itself.. for absolutely nothing..

i have a 1996 2.8 A4 alarm is not aftermarket.. its the original with the car... but i dont have any remote.. i dont know why..?

anyway what you guys think about this now.. i had to lock the doors and remove the negative from the battery..

i need help please.. its not safe leaving my car like that

Default walk around the car and look to see if any of the doors aren't closing and lining up properly

i recently diagnosed that as the problem on my gf's dad's passat. the rear door wasnt hung right and the alarm would go off.

also are all your windows closed?

Default get a VAG and check the codes for what's tripping the alarm...

My bet is either front hood sensor or your battery is dying.
