Default Immobiliser/alarm Trouble? left me stranded

Hey guys

Just come back from Maccas, had a bit of car trouble but not a clue what the problem could be.

I jumped out the car ran in to get my frozen coke,took keys out etc didnt lock it coz kids in the car, was gone only maybe 2 minutes, pushed my button and jumped back in the car, key in ignition, pin pad lights up, key in my code start her up n off we go.

I dropped her into reverse and backed out, it was like she wanted to stall so i gave her a few more revs, turned off the air con coz it was a bit cold, and drove thru the parking lot but still she wasnt right so i looked at the instrument cluster and noticed the ABS warning light was on (never had a car with ABS before didnt even know there was an ABS light) so pulled over to scratch my head sat for a minute she was idling low turned on air con coz i was hot and the car shut off. (yeh i know)

Pulled the keys out and the alarm led was on so pushed the key chain button the led flashed rapidly for about 30 secs, stopped, and then the alarm went nuts, pushed the button again the alarm turned off. Put the key in, usual proceedure, cept this time the key pad wouldnt light up and button pushing did nothing.

Rang Josh (previous owner) coz i remembered he said something about an anti jack alarm or something but i hadnt really done any of the things that would trigger it. We locked it we unlocked it we locked it again left it for a bit unlocked it keys in ra ra still no key pad access finally just tried to start it with out the code and she fires up runs smooth like nuthin was ever wrong.

So yeh wtf? anyone got any idea what happened? I'm heading to Perth tomorrow (thursday) for pmh appointments with my son, can anyone suggest where i can take it to have it looked at that can do it with short notice same day coz i gotta get back to bunbury that night.

Thanks in advance.
