Assuming no-one is trying to steal it could be bonnet sensors, water in the passenger side boot well shorting the mercury switch mine goes off all the time so I just lock it on the key so the alarm isn't activated. Must check it out sometime 
Ah cheers at least I can lock it. Don't think water is an issue at the moment!!

You'd be surprised it can sit in there for ages as it can't get out or easily evaporate worth checking. Pull back the carpet alongside the passenger rear light and stick your hand in right to the bottom if it's dry happy days
Possible bonnet switch as Niall said or boot switch or even door switch. Is your car old enough to have the switch on top of the sounder in the engine bay so you can silence the alarm?

Not sure the car is a 99 and not played up before. I will try and take a look tomorrow.
The one on Grumpy's car is located next to the fuse box in the "corner" of inner wing and bulkhead mate. HTH.

ps. His car is a 98 I believe. S Reg.
