Great 'heads-up' for the remainder of us when 'car won't start' issues surface. I once had a positive battery cable cause this problem intermittently on a Merkur XR4Ti I owned. Had the car towed 2x back home when the car acted up on errands. Turns out the positive cable had a bad spot develop and it surfaced after driving sometimes. $10.00 part fixed this issue. Some of the simplest things cause the biggest headaches sometimes.
