Weird issue:: radio kept playing after turning off car and removing key

When I turned off my car and removed the keys, the radio kept playing--- this is the first time this has ever happened. I tried to replicate the problem but it didn't do it again. Has anyone ever had this similar issue?

Yes, it happened to me before, it was quite odd. Funny how you made this post because it happened to me as well the other day. What I did to turn it off was insert the key and take it out.

Never had this problem again.

on some cars (like my F30 BMW) the radio stays on until you lock the doors.
