When I was Ford Service Manager here in Nebraska, we had an F150 pickup with South Carolina plates towed in with the engine seized. It showed 29,000 miles on the odometer.
We ran it up on a hoist and pulled the drain plug on the oil pan. Nothing came out, not one drop. We then noticed it had the original gray factory oil filter still on it. I asked the fellow who was driving it when was the last time the oil was checked or changed. He replied, 'I never bother with stuff like that'.
Before I got too far into it, I called the Ford District Manager for advice. She cancelled the power train warranty on the engine on the spot.
We parked the thing back outside, and a day or two later a tow truck from a smaller Ford dealer 25 miles away picked it up. I probably should have alerted them, but I got busy and spaced it off. I always hoped they didn't get stuck for the price of an engine.
