LIghts flashing when I got back to my car?

I tried searching but was unsuccessful.
I was refueling earlier tonight the ignition was in the off position and I had the radio on(good song), when I was done I reached inn and grabbed the key, then I close the door(radio is still on) and locked up, then I went inside to use the restroom, as I head back outside (about 3 minutes later) I notice all my lights flashing(no alarm sounds). I unlock the car, this stops the flashing, and I get inside. When I started it the wipers were on (I must have hit the stalk when I reached inn). There was no one around this was not a busy area and when I left the clerk said good night but did not mention that the alarm had gone off. What could have caused this? Was it the weird combo of wipers and radio had the alarm gone off and the lights keep flashing after the audible alarm turns off?

I would only worry about it if it happens again. That is if that was the first time it happened!

Let the dealership know so they can document the problem.
