Your ignition could be broken or it could just be an electrical issue

Check wiring from the battery out make sure that all of them are not arching off anything else. I had a car start with no one in it and it had been 2 days since I touched it. The Battery positive was making the starter turn over on it's own. I replaced all wires to and from the battery.
