It reminds me of the numerous people I have met who tried to hijack an actual true story. They would claim that the company they worked for performed an IT resources audit and discovered a server on the network which couldn't be located. So they decided that they would find it. After a prolonged and intensive search, they traced a mysterious network cable to a hole in the wall, and off to who knows where. Turns out the server had been accidentally sealed behind drywall years before and had been happily working away undisturbed all this time!
The problem is that, yes, while it's a true story, it never happened to them. It was a Novell Netware server at the University of North Carolina back around 2001. But people seem to assume that nobody else has ever heard the tale before.
