Default Odometer issue

I have a C6 2005 Corvette. When I bought it it had about 55,000 miles on the odometer. Got in it the other day to back out of the garage and it is now showing 35,000 miles on the odometer. Does anyone know what might be the issue with it?

Barely possible that you just looked at it wrong when you first got it? Do you have any printed documentation that came with the car that shows the almost 55,000 miles?

Plausible cause. 55,000 Km's X .62 conversion to Miles = 34,100

Sorry I got the mileage wrong it went from 55,000 to 53,000. I do have the CARFAX records of maint so it shows a progressing mileage. I have the loan papers that show the mileage when I bought it plus I changed the oil first thing and I keep records of that. Thanks for all the replies some were ideas I didn't think of. I will post when I do get it figured out.
