I saw a unexpected system reboot for a server that is in my basement 'data 
center'.  I spent hours looking at the logs, installed some rootkit detection 
tools, even posted to the this list.

After exhausting any possibilities, I spoke with my wife about a certain plug.  
It turned out that [by mistake] my wife unplugged the server . . . and then 
plugged it back in when she finished using the outlet.
