Alarm Issue

Hey guys, I got an issue with my 03 coupe. Last night around 3 am, the alarm just went crazy, and its in my garage so nothing wooda had "hit it" or triggered it....It was like abt 19deg in NYC last night, and I was wondering if the cold might had triggered the alarm.

Usually when the alarm goes on, unlocking it, or putting the key in the starter would stop it right? I started up the car, and the alarm kept going off, I pressed that "tow" button and the car kept going off, after about 20-25 mins, after it woke me up, it stopped itself....was kinda weird, any procedures or anything I can check? or just bring it to the stealers and have them find it?

A box on 4 wheels
Haha good old Mercedes, this was a major problem for my Benz, it would go off at random times with nothing touching it. Its faulty wiring, take it to the dealership to get it fixed, only way.
