This is a long shot but it may be the radio. A couple of years ago Popular Mechanics did an extensive makeover on a new Camaro and I remember a comment that the car would not start without the factory radio in it. Their makeover did not include replacing the radio, just taking it out for access to something else. When they put the radio back in all was fine. They were puzzled by this also but were content that the problem had gone away and did not delve into it any deeper.
Odd security feature. Get your radio stolen and stranded with an inoperable vehicle.
The flipside of that is the thief ends up with an inoperable radio, because it won't work without the car.
