===================================

It's more likely a door contact setting it off, in particular, one of
the sliding doors. Check how 'tight' your contacts are by watching the
interior light and wiggling the doors. If loose, glue a penny or some
other kind of shim to tighten the gap.

Odyssey will NOT get stolen while inside your garage, probably. Don't
use the alarm inside.......
