Power failure

I went to start my vehicle last night, and nothing happened. Battery 'appeared' flat. RAC called out this morning and he checked everything. Plenty of power in the battery (it's 5 months old) and all relays/fuses etc okay. When you press the ignition button (either with clutch depressed or not) there's nothing showing on the dashboard. The RAC man tried everything but failed to find the fault. His 'report' which I've printed off states 'nothing from ignition switch', relays okay for ignition and starter. It's now got to be collected on Monday and taken to a garage recommended by them. Of course, this will cause a problem in itself as the steering lock cant be released. The RAC guy said that the garage will have to 'pull' the vehicle onto their low loader. My apologies if I've put this in the wrong section.

UPDATE: Well, the 'tow truck' arrived, and I went into my vehicle to see if I had left any of my personal items behind. I don't know why, but I placed the fob into the dock, and could hear the 'pinging' warning sound that the door was open. I tried to start the vehicle and it worked! I had to apologise to the truck driver, but followed him to my favourite local garage for them to check it out. They contacted me today and said that they did a diagnostic check (I've got 7 pages of codes) and all seems fine - it started every time. I'm at a loss what happened, and also none the wiser. Reading through the codes, there's one (B108D-23) which stated 'Start Button Circuit C - Signal stuck low' ?
