I just started wondering about this and figured I'd throw the question and my theories out there.
I've owned a good amount of used vehicles, grant it I'm probably at least the 3rd owner of most, the vast majority didnt come with the owners manuals. I know most information can be found relatively easily online. But, it still perplexes me where the owners manuals are going.
Do people throw them out to free up glove box real estate? Decide theres a better place to store it outside the car? Keeping them as mementos when they sell the car? Or is there some shady business of the auction lots taking them all to make an extra $10 here and there selling them online.
It just seems like something that would stay in the glove box the usable life of the vehicle and serve very little purpose elsewhere.
