Well, I have lost rows, but that was a on a system where no one was looking
at the event log or the DBCC logs, and finally the database broke down,
with several levels of corruption.

As Roy said, run DBCC. If it comes up with corruption, then that may be
the answer.

But I'm prepared to place my bets that there was a human involved.
