I have a 2013 Chevy Volt. I once unlocked my car with the remote, heard the doors unlock, got in and realized it was the wrong car. I got out and looked around, utterly baffled. There was another guy in the parking lot with the the same puzzled look on his face that I had, standing next to another Volt. Same color. We'd apparently remotely unlocked our cars at the same exact instance and gotten into each other's car at the same time. We just laughed, walked by each other and got into our own vehicle. Strangest coincidence I've ever had.
If it were a woman, you were meant for each other.

That is damned strange.

Is it possible this was staged?

Is it possible that the owner of the car left his phone in the car? The phone is the key, and you can just get in and drive. I know I've left my phone in the car once or twice, but quickly realized my mistake.

No because they texted each other. One of them found out the name of the other one from a prescription left in the car.
Also the cars were 2020 and 2022. Hard to believe they didn’t notice the differences before driving.
EDIT: they did notice but they were already driving. Both of them.

In the early 1960s, my dad owned a black 1958 Plymouth. One morning, he left for work, got in the car, and drove halfway in to Manhattan before realizing it wasn’t’t our car. He drove back home, and parked that car, walked down the block, got in our car, and then drove all the way to Manhattan…

Heck... back in 2005 or '06, I stopped at the post office... got out of my car, stood in line, did my business, went out, and unlocked and jumped into my '99 Nissan Pathfinder... started it up... and then realized that it was not MY '99 Nissan Pathfinder!
I shut it off, got out, spotted mine two spaces away, locked the door, shut it, and nonchalantly got in MINE, and drove away.
So... not a new problem. One would have THOUGHT that modern technology would have improved. But, then again, maybe not?

One of the times my 86 Civic was stolen, the police found someone driving it with a shaved key. The inexperienced officer didn't realize that people make keys like this on purpose to steal Hondas and let the guy walk away. It's harder to steal with a new lock.
