In my younger years I spent some time working for a small used car lot.
Believe me, their "rollback wizzard" was very busy.  It is very naive to
believe that "detectable traces" are left behind by anyone but a grossly
incompetent one timer.  Also, what used car buyer is willing to take the
dash apart to find these traces unless they are something easy to see,
like finger print 
smudges on the inside.  The old mechanical dashes are just as changeable
as the new electronic dashes.
