You can't get the car out of IG-ON mode unless the car is in Park (I believe).
So your car was basically in IG-ON mode while towing and probably a while longer while it sat at the dealership.
If you had the A/C on even in ECO mode you can depleat things in under an hour.
Could this be the scenario?

Schmidtj! You got it the switch was left on other wise he says they put it into neutral and pushed it out of the garage, how on a dead battery? because car must be in Park to shut off right? I just tried mine and if you leave out of park and shut offpower button the yellow light stays lit on the power switch, when everything shut off it is green. I woyuld say this may have drained the battery.
