Coincidence or magic?

I had been wearing a favourite pair of ear rings all day. Driving home along a paved road I decided to take off the ear rings as they were hurting. I put the two ear rings on a small shelf in front of the odometer on the dashboard. As I drove the vibration caused one ear ring to disappear down the gap between shelf and glass. I tried many ways to retrieve the ear ring to no avail. The garage told me it would be very expensive to remove all the facia to get to the ear ring. Four years after this incident we were to sell the car. Finally I accepted the fact I was to lose my ear ring. The day before the car was due to go to be sold on I was driving the car along the same road and to my amazement the ear ring fell out from behind the facia by the accelerator. The ear rings are now back together. My husband tells me this is not a coincidence.
