My thinking is the damage to mine is consistent with the vehicle being towed with the rear wheels on the ground and rotation being applied in reverse into the gearbox, with the output shaft spinning, but the countershaft remaining idle and no lubrication being thrown up on the higher gears.

You are right though, people will cruise around with massive issues oblivious, so it definitely could have been cooked by red riding hood on an innocent errand.
