Haunted EQ5

I packed up the scope about 8pm last night and went inside as it was getting a bit cloudy and I was tired. At 8am this morning, walked into the shed and the counterweight was pointing to the roof. Well I thought, more tired than you thought, so undid the locking screw and pointed it to the floor. Was out all day but left the shed light on, went in to switch it off at 8pm, and the counterweight is pointing up again . Then I noticed something, clutch was still in and RA drive was running.
