Only you can say if you think this may be a possibility in your case.

Thanks. I'm afraid I'll never find the true cause. I want to find out so a repeat can be avoided. For now I guess all we can do is review our check list and make sure every item is done in order and correctly with no distractions. With your suggestion the only thing I can come up with is the steering wheel was unlocked but the key not quite turned far enough to remain in the first position. But then it would be found to be locked after towing? If it had locked the last trip returning home was 110 miles. Enough I suppose to ruin the tires on a fairly straight run on I10 to home. Hmm. Frustrating not to know for sure.
Thanks again.
