Fun. Moved the LX yesterday evening to make more room in the driveway for my other cars. Came back out to grab something about an hour later and it's dead. Open the door, and the alarm starts making half an attempt to go off. Eventually realize that the alternator is internally grounded and drained the battery down to 10.5 volts, while superheating the alternator casing. So that was fun. Explains the burning smell.
