Like it actually cranks over? Are you in the car? Does this happen randomly? Need some more details.

Yeah, is it actually cranking? WHAT is turning on? What are YOU doing when this happens? Or do you just come out of the house and find it running?

More details!

Whatever it is doing, there IS a logical explaination!
