I know i have done it by not realising i pressed button twice, but does it drop half or fully down as you open the door.
Try later.

I would be very surprised if someone used a high tech signal interceptor to break in and have a rifle around for the odd coin or two.

Normally only for stealing the car would they go to those lengths IMO. Probably left the car unlocked, opportunist 'handle tryer' found it unlocked and had a look for enough money for a hit of Heroin, or a can of Special Brew.
Then shut the doors gently to not attract attention so didn't trigger the windows to raise.

I had this years ago on a Vauxhall Omega. Similar thing; they just had a look for money as there was lots of other stuff in the car but that was untouched. Came out in the morning to find both front doors wide open.

It's worth remembering that insurance won't pay out if the car is left unlocked, ever! :)
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!
