I know for a fact it wasn't a relay attack (my car was parked a couple of blocks from where I am, currently apartment living), and there is no way they cloned my key, as I don't know many people at all in the neighborhood I'm currently in.

So the only other possibility is OBD II theft, or they somehow scoped me out at the last dealership I went to for a warped head on the right bank (don't ask), but that is 14 miles away in my home region, and I'm still registered there with my original address.
They found mine and arrested the scrumbag driving it. Still unsure of the exact method they used but the car had a different aftermarket fob that they were using. I saw the car and inspected the fuse box, the onstar and horn fuses were missing. I suspect they fob scanned me since the windows were not broken, drove the car off and then programmed a fob for them to use.
