How did someone get a key to our car?!?!

My wife's 2001 Audi A4 Quatro was stolen about a month ago, and it
was just recovered. Surprisingly, guy the police arrested in the
car actually had a key! It wasn't one of ours -- we still have the
three originals. This was a straight key (not one that flips out
from a key fob). It has a metal blank and a square-ish plastic head
that has an imprint of something that looks like a wrench, just below
the Audi logo. On one side of the blank it has "AKS", and on the
other there's a small "w" near the head and "NAA" near the top of the
groove. It appears to be a valet key, since it won't open the trunk.
We're in Seattle, Washington, USA, if it matters.
Does anyone know what kind of key this is or how the thief might have
obtained it? We're pretty upset that a car that was supposed to be
so tough to steal was so easy, and any help/insight will be much
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Scott
