Default Re: key fob won't work, alarm goes off - stuck!

An this is what concerns me, I was prepared to test this stuff out when I went to get the car this morning after work, but when trying the fob first thing, it unlocked right away and started up with no problem as if nothing had happened.

I drove it to a nearby autozone , thinking to purchase a new battery, but their tester showed over 12volts coming from the cells and 14+ coming from the charging system. We checked it a few times during the time i was there, car both running and not. Also to be honest, I didnt have $180 they wanted for the "recommended replacement" and didnt give me other options than that.

So at this point I dont know what to think. Car drove from the autozone to my folks place and then to my own with no exibitable problems, so im not sure what i should be looking to trace down. Thoughts?

Thanks!
