From the Irish Independent:
"A CAREFULLY filled-in logbook left in a glove compartment proved the undoing for a dealer who had just sold a "clocked" car, a court heard yesterday.
The car's milometer had been tampered with to indicate it had only 47,000 miles, whereas the real figure was over 75,000 miles.
Suburban Autos Ltd, Mount Pleasant Avenue, Rathmines, Dublin 6, pleaded guilty to selling a vehicle with a false trade description in May 2004. The company was fined €400 with €1,100 costs and witness expenses. "
I imagine anyone who's bought a car recently from Suburban Autos will be checking their logbooks...
