Well, it didn't happen in this case. ;)

Glad that the original poster's and your own vehicle wasn't stolen or damaged etc.

In my case, it was the car restarting itself to conserve the battery.

Definitely a good idea to ensure the previous owner has been removed from the Jaguar InControl system on a used car.
