Lights on when car’s off

I’ve never known my car to do this so was wondering if it was normal or if I should be worried. 
I came home from the gym at around 21:30 and locked my car when I entered the house. At 23:00 I went downstairs to get a snack and saw that my car lights were on. I decided to continue getting my snack and just lock my car when I went back upstairs. However, after getting my snack, I checked again and the lights were off. 
Now I know the lights stay on for a short while after you lock the car, but they were off when I entered my house at 21:30 and then were on for no more than 30 seconds an hour and a half later.

I guess what I’m asking is should I be concerned?
