I rate you should put it on bricks yourself to make sure it stays put.

Have you ever stayed in Gordon's Bay? The wind here in a unexpected moment can take your car for a test drive.

Yep! She still be there, with the current wind blowing in Gordon's Bay, I am suprised that it never blew away...
I reckon my timing was good last night and whoever opened the car must have wondered why a mere second or two after they unlocked it, it locked itself again....... Going to find a snake park today, think I might be making a few purchases....

Who wants to steal a fortuner?
My car alarm on my Audi went off a few times from the wind.
I had a similar issue on my jeep. My jeep would unlock itself all the time while driving. Turned out its was a loose switch on the driver side that controlled the central lock. Maybe take it in for a diagnostic test.

To cut out all the conspiracy theories.
The security system probably had an unrecoverable error and rebooted, and the default behaviour at reboot is to unlock.
The error was probably caused by radiation from space causing a bit-flip.
These things happen more often than you think.
