Weird. A frame I didn't take

I got a roll back from CustomColor today and in the negative is a frame I definitely never took. The location is known to me but the people are not. I puzzled over this for awhile and my guess is that because I had bought the roll from an estate, the previous photographer had shot one frame and somehow rolled it back into the cannister.

I think maybe I rolled past it because it was one of the earlier frames and I just advanced past it to my 'first' frame.
I *always* get cameras that already have film in them half-shot and almost all the time I expose the whole roll because I want to open the camera up first.

If it had been previously exposed, how did you get past it without getting a double exposure?
I guess its not so easy with your cameras, but did you accidentally take a photo without noticing (or were the people all posed?) ?
I bought a pentax k1000 with a flash and two lenses from a guy moving to america, and the bag it came in had a roll of film down the bottom. I didn't know if it had been shot or not, but took a guess and got it developed. It had been shot! I now have a roll of film with photos of people I don't know, pointing at their office and fixing their kitchen sink.
