When the military is involved anything can happen. I was stationed in Germany in the mid 60's in a supply depot. A new jeep came in without a log book. Brand new, only started in final test at the factory I guess. Sense it had no log book, it didn't exist. It was sent to the crusher and disposed of. The fluids in that jeep only had a few minuets and probably no miles on them. The military in all their glorious wisdom sent the fluids down the drain with the rest of the jeep. All because a log book that only had a serial number in it, was MIA.
