My grandfather and a stranger accidentally stole each other late-70s Ford Ranger pickups once. Same paint, same condition, even the same key pattern. He only realized it wasn't his when the fuel tank was lower than he expected and when he stopped at an intersection a pack of not-his-brand cigarettes slid out from under the seats. He drove to the sheriff's office and the other guy was already there. Everyone had a laugh and they got in their respective trucks and went on about their day.

Wasn't there a king of the hill episode which was basically that same plot?

It's not a plot point, just a minor scene

Ah, I must have been combining that and the wallet episode.

The old ford trucks and SUVs all had like 7 keys. It was insane how it still worked well enough.

All the older cars had few different keys. I was at a wedding and someone locked their keys in their car so we just had all the guests try their keys and found one that unlocked the car within 10 people.
