Once while at a tractor shop I watched them tear down a recently built IH tractor. Seems the tractor ran for about a week and started loosing oil pressure. All the main and rod bearings where eat up. Oil pump was eat up also. Someone got to looking in the oil pan and found a sheet of paper laying in the bottom. They cleaned it off and it read 3M. That's 3M sand paper, only there was no grit left sticking on it.
While working in a Mack dealership a V8 Mack came in for warranty repairs. Said the injection pump was causing the engine to run away. Well there was a wrench left in it where a mechanic had tampered with the pump. My boss knew the owners of the shop that owned the truck so instead of accusing them of tampering with the pump he asked if they had a mechanic there with the initials JS as we had found one of his wrenches in the truck. Sure enough they did! We then told them where we found it and denied warranty.
