I suspect it was a wind-up but, if so, it was done exceptionally well.

Re: OT for the amateur mechanics amongst us.
I came across this exact issue in a Halfords (vehicle supplies shop in UK) car park. A young woman asked me to look at her car and see if I could give an opinion on why the starter wasn't turning the engine over. I went through the usual stuff - flat battery, starter jammed etc and then she said "I just topped the engine oil up". I asked her how much oil she'd but in and she showed me a 5 litre (approx a galllon) container. "That much?" I asked - and she said "no, one and a half of them". I took the filler off and the oil level was near the top. I suggested that she drain it off and she said that she'd call her dad. How they managed to drain it in a car park I can't imagine...
