Assuming for a moment that AG's car was targeted, can we be sure it was not because she had listed it for sale on kijiji, which seems to be the common thread in the TB / stolen Harley cases? I think it would be highly unlikely she was intending to sell her Camaro, given that it was quite new and dear to AG's heart.
So, in that respect, AG's case differs from TB's.
However, it may be that the car was just seen, admired, and followed home - which takes us back to a very early theory that she was surprised as she exited her vehicle, having just pulled into the garage so that the overhead door was still up. But - in this scenario, the perp(s) would have had access to the proper key, even if she initially resisted - and presumably, would have easily driven away in her car. So, that theory falls apart IMO.
Another theory would be that she was in the house, heard commotion in the garage, threw on her coat and went out to investigate, only to find the perp(s) had broken in to the garage and were trying to hotwire the vehicle - a scuffle ensued, AG was killed and the perps could not get into the house to get the keys due to the dogs and could not get the car to start due to the immobilizer. But in this scenario, I think that AG would have taken her dogs out with her as protection, wouldn't she?
So, what about a scenario where AG went outdoors to have a cigarette, sitting on her bench with the overhead garage door open... a vehicle pulls into her driveway, perps get out, she realizes they are up to no good & makes for door into the house but they catch her. AG is killed, perps can't enter house for keys due to dogs, so they try to hotwire car unsuccessfully due to immobilizer - they panic due to dog's barking which may draw attention of neighbours and they know that they can't explain away AG's dead body, so they take off, shutting the garage door on the way out to 'hide' the scene from any neighbours who may check into why the dogs are barking. Car would not be locked because it was in garage, so no alarms. When body is discovered, LE find evidence of tampering with car ignition/wiring and seize it as evidence. Are there 'holes' in this scenario, too?
