Long-term parking- clock and radio reset

I parked my car for several days at Newark Airport with one the long-term parking companies. When I picked my car up the clock and radio were reset. Should I be concerned?? Why would that happen? Mileage looks more or less the same.

Was this during the change from DST to EST?  I discovered my new car automatically resets the clock -- it's an atomic clock!  Whodda thunk it?

As far as the radio is concerned, did someone park/retrieve your car for you?  If so, that might explain the radio change?  (that's all I can come up with)

Left lights on? Battery died and was recharged? That would reset radio memory settings and clock...

Sorry, I should have explained. It's a place where they park it for you and then you take a shuttle. So yes, someone had the keys and drove it at least as far as a parking spot. 

It was last weekend, so after the time change.

Was this the guy who parked it for you?

This would be my guess.  Someone who parked your car inadvertently left something on and drained the battery. They discovered the problem and charged the battery back up before you returned.

You may want to have the battery checked by your mechanic.  Some car batteries, if allowed to discharge completely, lose some of their ability to hold a charge. While this might not be a problem now it could apply dentition to your posterior in the colder months to come.
