It does try to cover all traces. The kid's house appeared to be completely cleaned out within seconds. When it was only mostly done, the kid's room looked untouched but the photographs already were altered.

As for adding things, hello Claudia!

This is not a George McFly grandfather paradox-type time/space change. Events still played out with Stiles in them, just nobody remembers him being there.

While we keep using the word "erased" that's erased from memory with all the other stuff that would cause a person to recall that memory altered as well. For the stuff like his jeep, it was probably a lot like that kid's ID card. It was there but nobody perceived it being there until Corey's power allowed him to perceive it. The baby-pack didn't seem to notice it or, if they did, didn't think it was familiar. And who knows if it was stolen 18 years ago? We also know that Claudia had a baby 18 years ago and her records were changed at the hospital to remove that fact.

Most everything we've seen so far is about physics and magnetism and quantum states. The riders alter perceptions, they control what can and can't be seen and human memory.
