Liam whistled as he polished his vintage car, the afternoon sun glinting off the chrome. He loved the meticulous process, the smell of oil and leather. He’d spent years restoring the car, and had meticulously documented every nut and bolt. He had a deep love for all things automotive.

He scrolled through a car enthusiast forum. Someone had posted a detailed restoration guide for his specific model. He opened the guide, his fingers trembling slightly.

It was his guide, with the name changed. He let out a small laugh. Someone found his work useful enough to copy it. Well, that made him happy. He’d still have the car, and that's all that mattered.
