Help identify this!

Hoping someone can help identify what this metal piece is.
After a days of tracking, I found this on the floor in my driver side back seat. At first it looked like a hex wrench, but the head is actually a triangular shape. I'm worried it might be some kind of pin that fell loose. This is definitely something that came from the car because it wasn't sitting on the back seat floor before (car was pretty much completely empty before going to track).

Any help or insight is appreciated! Thanks.

I believe its the key to manually open/close your moon roof in case of electrical malfunction.

No no, it’s clearly the quick release pin which allows the hooker in the trunk to escape

It's the internal trunk key for the hooker handcuffed inside your trunk. They need air too!

Thanks for the responses guys. Its not a dikfer, not a mercedes for sure, and it didn't fit the hooker handcuffs...so still trying to figure out what it is. Good news is nothing fell apart within the car after driving it more.

I think I already told you what it's for. Did you confirm I was wrong?

I checked my toolbox and the manual moonroof tool is in it. It's a larger 'S' shaped wrench. So unfortunately, I don't think this is it.

Looks like a quarter, to me.

Aw, just kidding.

I don't have any specific knowledge to offer. Sorry. Are you sure it did not fall out of someone's pocket that was riding in your car or something?
