Missing Fuel Cap

I have a friend who filled his car with fuel at a self-service fuel station. After he had paid and driven away, he realized that he had left the fuel cap on top of his car. He stopped and looked but, sure enough, it was lost.

Well, he thought for a second and realized that other people must have done the same thing, and that it was worth going back to look by the side of the road since even if he couldn't find his own fuel cap, he might be able to find one that fit.

Sure enough, he hadn't been searching long when he found
a fuel cap. He tried it on, and it went into place with a satisfying click.

"Great," he thought, "I lost my fuel cap, but I found another one that fits. And this one's even better because it locks."
