A friend and I went diving in Monterey. He put his wallet on the battery and forgot it. We drove home, about 100 miles, and I dropped him off.

He called a few hours later all freaked out. I looked on the battery. No wallet. He showed up just as I was closing the hood and wanted to look. He found the wallet jammed between the engine and the frame. He went to grab it and it fell on the ground.

If I'd traveled another 100 yards...
