    It's normal practice if you take a car to a garage that they throw some parts in the bin. The car will work fine without the engine cover and they can't be bothered to put it back so they just throw them in the bin. It's amazing how much stuff you can lose that way. So they probably just got it out of the bin when you complained. Most customers wouldn't notice.
    I once used a mobile mechanic who couldn't be bothered refitting my wheel trims and threw them in my own wheelie bin.  I had to fish them out myself after he left. 
    I couldn't be bothered to refit mine so I binned them and had to later fish them out.
    Apparently, Tesla's throw their own wheels in the bin at service time.
