Service history 'stolen' - all credit, that's original
Discussion
Hahaha... was reading this eBay advert and unbelievably the advertiser is suggesting we believe the service history for the car has been stolen.
"The car had lots of history but on the day of purchase which was sunny I had the roof down and some low life maggot nicked all my paperwork off the front seat when parked."
I've seen a lot of funny stuff in eBay adverts but that particular claim has to be one of the most ridiculous I've seen.

I wouldn't mind owning the car if it could be cleaned up and the rust was fixed... even without knowing the service history I'm sure it would be fine if it were the right price.

I had the window smashed on one of my cars and the manual and service booklet stolen from the glovebox, along with a sponge and ~28p.
I did purchase a replacement manual and service book, and got the two main dealers it had been to to re-stamp the book from their records. The replacement service book had a big sticker on it saying duplicate, or words to that effect.

Quite right.
Service History = proof you've given it to some semi-trained monkeys to abuse at regular intervals.

I just think the idea of someone stealing a service book for a car they didn't own is so funny. Why would you make up a story about that happening? Bizarre!

Why would anyone steal a service book with the registration number, chassis number, colour and model details written in + service history stamps with mileages for a car where the possibility of matching the details with their own car or a car they might have stolen is lower than that of winning the lottery jackpot?
Why go to the trouble if you could go on ebay and buy a blank one to fill in with all the correct details?

They're all new though. I can understand the point of selling those via eBay.
