According to google, while newer cars can’t be hotwired they can still be hacked with specialized tools, or stolen with tow trucks. One of those is probably the case.

A 2012 Tiguan is not gettin towed for value. So that leaves 2 situations.

Op said they left their spare key in the car. I think the mystery is solved.
