> How then do you explain this part All we know from that anecdote is that the car left him stranded in the garage and that he had no cell phone reception. Nothing of what is presented suggest that there is a directly causal relationship between those two circumstances. In fact, to the extent that it's described it's consistent with the situation referred to in the title of this post. To make an uninformed guess, maybe the car battery drains quicker when cell reception is poor, but that's conjecture based on little information.
