Meriva unlocking itselg

My daughter's Meriva has been unlocking itself which has led to items being taken from the vehicle just before Christmas. The police said that they she must not have locked the car as there is no evidence of break in. Whilst she has been staying with me I have witnessed the car unlocking itself on the driveway. Has this been a problem with other Merivas? Could you please suggest a solution?

It wasn't on the list at: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/vauxhall/meriva-2003...d

So I will now add it.

The problem will be moisture ingress to the locking motors or to the locking ECU inside the driver's door.
