....and thanks for the tip Mr. iNCREDIBLE, I have definitely learned a lesson, but I have never heard of this happening to anyone before.

lol,
1989 Ford Escort (yeah, yeah, it was all I could afford at the time) car wash monkeys locked the keys in it while they were drying it
oil change shop (goodyear), locked the keys in my 1996 Silverado.. not entirely their fault, they left them on the seat and I had a passive arming alarm..
2005 Chrysler 300c Dealership tech had the key in his shirt pocket, leaned over the trunk to pull the battery out to replace the grounding point that had broken off (the one the battery was grounded too), keys fell out of his pocket into the trunk, apparently he didn't notice..
repaired the issue, replaced the battery, closed the trunk... normally not an issue as there was a remote switch for the trunk on the dash, however apparently the alarm locked the doors when the battery re-energized the system and of course the doors were closed..
yeah its happened to me a couple of times.
-- as for the OnStar thing.. yeah they can't activate it without someone actually pressing the button on the mirror to initiate the connection, the system cannot be remotely activated.. the owner has to initiate the connection.. This is to prevent someone from trying to activate your OnStar to gain access to your vehicle.
