That was the reason for my comment about cloning.
Reminds me of when I worked for a local authority and we discovered an apparently abandoned, relatively new Audi A3 with light accident damage but otherwise OK.
So we made the effort to contact the owner, who happened to work for Northamptonshire Police. When I told her we had her car in Hatfield she was certain we didn't as she was looking out of her window at Police HQ and could still see it in the car park!
When Hertfordshire Police got to work, the two were absolutely identical even down to the same VIN number but it turned out ours was the clone much to her relief.
Seems the work was most probably done when she was trying to sell her car, perfect opportunity to come round, take a good look and record all the relevant numbers to be copied.
