Beep on lock after overfilling gas?

Hi,

Yesterday I noticed when I pulled into the A&P parking lot that my alarm did a single beep on lock. I unlocked and locked again and heard a single beep.

5 mins before that, I had stopped at a gas station to get gas and the guy in an effort to round the $ off had over filled about 40 cents worth which caused the excess gas to overflow. I got out and noticed that there was an overflow hole there thankfully and most of the gas drained out onto the concrete below. I had him wipe off the gas he spilt on the paint and drove on.

5 mins before that, I had just put the top down since the sun was out and it was a pleasant day and the top was down the rest of the day.

I did not see any other problems with the car, drives fine and no errors/lights.

Could the top being down or the gas having overflowed caused the beep? Never heard it before. I have a wifi OBD2 reader courtesy of Timco here. Will that read alarm codes as well?

Thanks!
