Most odd
I got to the bottom of why I had no damping in my forks at Cadwell or at Brands on Thursday......the damper rod inside one leg had unscrewed itself from where it is held at the top of the spring spacer underneath the top cap.

I can't figure out how the internals of my fork managed to rotate anti-clockwise 10 turns, but will certainly keep an eye on them now....especially when I leave the bike in the paddock overnight

I use an external electro magnet that I clamp around your fork leg then send I high frequency pulse through it so that it turns any steel inside its magnetic field anti clockwise.
Voila, one sabotaged fork leg and nobody can tell you went near it

But only works if some idiot didn't tighten them up enough in the first place :P

Bugga - he found out - just hope Paul doesn't check his tyre pressures, chain tension or fuel pump
