Weird problem S60

Here is a weird one time issue, so far anyway. Get into the car after being out of it for an hour. Car does not turn over and all the radio resets and the clock are zero'd out.

Take out and put in key and it cranks right up. Checked battery and alternator and they are both OK. If it was just the ignition switch, I would not expect the clock to be zero'd and the radio to lose all presets ?

Hasn't happened again in the last three days of driving ?? Any ideas what is going on ?

It could be one of the wires at the starter is coming loose. You must disconnect the battery ground before playing around the starter with any metal objects, zap!
