A Google Groups thread has discussion about one webmaster that sees Sitelinks for his site in position 60. The search is for vacation realty and in the 60th position. While, I do not see the Sitelinks at that position, the webmaster does and provided a screen shot:
So there is really no doubt that this webmaster is seeing this on his computer. The question is, why aren't any of us? Typically, I wouldn't report something like this, but it is very unusual, so I wanted to draw more eyes to it.
What I do find very interesting is that Googler, JohnMu, tells the webmaster to look at the -60 penalty Google Groups thread. Does he mean to imply that some sites with the -60 penalty, that deserve a number one position, will see Sitelinks in position 60, in these cases?
Forum discussion at Google Groups.

I believe text link ads used to have the same issue.

When he sees the site links in that position is he signed into his Google account?

Huh, that webmaster had asked me for some help on that, and I had asked him if he would let me blog about the issue first once he was ready to go live. Guess he decided he doesn't need my help. I posted some observations about the phenomena here: <a href="http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2008/04/27/sitelinks-at-60-a-warning-shot-from-google/" rel="nofollow">http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2008/04/27/sitelinks-at-60-a-warning-shot-from-google/</a>

Just a follow up we are in the process of cleaning up the site and have seen alot progress. We are hoping the site. Also Sorry to Michael I did mention it to him and did not know it would get picked up in the Webmaster Help group.

As of now the site is still in limbo, we cleaned it up 100% its just that people are now taking them themes we made and adding their own links to rank sites. We emailed everyone but new people come around everyday.
