Not saying it hasn't happened, but the chances are pretty small.
FAA. The chances are probably pretty small of ever getting caught, and I'm sure many have gotten away with logging some P(arker)-51 time. However, if the FAA ever did start looking at your logbook (say you had the misfortune to scrape a wing or something) and figured out that your time isn't all real, you would be lucky to get out of it only losing your licenses and career. Not a chance I'm willing to take.
