near death experience. riddle me this batman!

well heres the story and what happened. i boosted the car around the city for a bit and before takin it back to the shop something happened. all of a sudden the whole car turned off. kinda like flipping a light switch in your room. i had just come out of a pull at 15psi as well.

so i figured i would straighten the car and coast to a stop. well here is the punchline everyone, the steering wheel clicked to the lock position as if i was parked with the key out of the ignition. yes, the key was forward and since the lock is mechanical i have no idea why this happened.

so i immediately gave up toyin with the wheel since a marble sign was coming right at me. instead i hit the brakes and did 180 to stop the car with the hand brake. no damages everything good.

here's what ive done:

-i have checked every single ground on the car that i could think of
-checked the kill switch in my battery compartment (its in the bin behind passenger seat)
-checked all fuses
-rattled all grounds while idling the car with headlights/stereo on.
-idled the car and kept turning the wheel as fast as i could to see if it would do it again

the car has not done this again. its like it never happened. anybody got insight on this?
