I know some Swedish citizens who were LPRs -- some even may think themselves to be LPRs today -- but got divorced and moved back to Sweden and assumed they were still US LPRs only to have it be questioned on arrival back to the US. The CBP may have been fishing for the validity of the LPR status based on whether or not you had abandoned all residence of your own in the US or not. It's mostly a fishing expedition, one that fortunately ends quickly and well enough most of the time for most of the people but unfortunately not so quickly and well for all of the people all of the time.
