How likely is it that the fuel port test cap fell off and made it past the engine and brace sitting in the driveway?

Well, as we literally keep a bag of these things around due to the number of times we find cars without one, I'd say reasonably good.

Oh, I don't doubt it may be missing, but I'm an AC tech and not only is that the exact style of cap I've seen a million times, it's the location. I doubt it would fall on his driveway and not on the road. Then, there was a heating / AC guy. It adds up.
