I need to ask the owner to check his records, but he's always had the car maintained at a fairly reputable shop. Id assume that whoever busts the thermostat like that would have the sense just to remove it completely until they got another one instead of reinstalling a restriction on the cooling system.
more likely it was just fatigue though, as qwerty says. I didn't see any scuff or pry marks on it.
