I was on a business trip along with several VPs from our Fortune 500 company. One of the VPs came out of the hotel room, got in his rental car and drove off.
It wasn’t his car. Some family had their belongings in the trunk. The police pulled him over. He told them what he did. They drove back to the hotel and verified his keys matched an identical car in the parking lot.
We never let him live that down. A car thief running our company.

Very rare but it does happen!!!
True story I had a Ford Escort once. The driver’s side door was damaged in a hit and run while I had it parked in a parking lot. I found a new door in a auto grave yard. Not only same color but when I put my key in the wrecked car door and IT MATCHED. A friend of mine who did body work said in all his days he never saw that happen.
Years ago I had just purchased a new Toyota 4-Runner with the V6 engine. It was from the very first shipment of the V6's to the USA. It also had silver stripes that were the uncommon type available. I had a TDY to Chanute AFB, Rantoul, IL for six weeks.
One day I walked out of the Base Exchange and to my vehicle. My key would not open the truck and the owner came up and asked me what the heck I was doing. I looked down the row and three cars down was my 4-Runner and they were identical, inside and out.
We both got a good laugh out of that one.
