Default Poltergeist? Yeah, maybe,

...but I wonder whether it's a pesky neighbor or a kid pulling a prank. Got any enemies? I'll admit I don't know enough about spontaneous starting. It's enough of an effort to get the thing to start when I WANT it to start, let along something interesting like you've got. Still, I was pondering replacing the impeller for regular maintenance, and it's good to have a handle on how little time it takes. Thanks!

Talked to my mechanic and he affirmed the water in the ignition switch. Reminded me to always use the battery switch. Lesson learned.
