Ever discover your key fob unlocks someone else's car?

Going back to my car in the Lowe's parking lot yesterday, pushed the door unlock button on the fob, heard the doors unlock, and climbed in. Then noticed a coffee cup in the cupholder that wasn't mine. Then noticed it was an automatic and not a stick. Then noticed it still had the factory stereo and not the aftermarket one I put in a couple years ago. Then noticed my car was right beside it with the doors still locked.

Didn't put my key in the ignition to see if it would start, though.
