Default Mystery bolt.

As I walking to my car, I noticed a black bolt and nut laying on the floor in front of my tC. The nut is about 1/4"x1" and it is black. I don't think that it is off of my car since it was laying ahead of where I park, but does any one have an idea if such a bolt exists in the engine bay/front suspension of a tC? I'm not worried about it because I drove the car and nothing abnormal happens. I just don't know what else it could have come off of.

Thanks.

When I went to take the dash apart to put the system in, I found a 13mm socket stuck to one of the bolts...

I found an entire socket wrench stuck inside the engine compartment of my Corolla...I don't know where it came from, but it was Craftsman, so I kept it.

I doubt that it is from the car. If it was it probably would have had some kind of locking mechanism or marking from the factory.
