Default Off the hook

i have a question, would post a pitc, but don’t know how. Walked out to my 2018 sting ray yesterday, noticed a white object hanging down under the car passenger side front. Layed down took a look, and hanging out of the puck hole in the frame, was a little hook about two inches long just dangling. Took it out, hook on one end, little handle on the opposite end. Like it was to grab hold of something and be pulled. Don’t know if it was left over from the build, or simply kicked up off of the highway, and got caught in the hole which I thought would be odd but I’ve seen odd things in the past I wouldn’t believe. Any one have an idea of what it might be? Stuck my finger in the hole, did not feel anything it might a part of, did manage to cut my finger, so it wasn’t a total loss lol. Thanx in advance for any input. Also it looks dirty, scrapped up some, it’s a mystery to me.

I found a similar loose piece in our 2017. Decided it wasn't important and threw it away to save 1/2 oz.
Hey, every little bit counts. I'm trying to make up for that 25 (or was it 35?) additional pounds for the infotainment system that I don't like.
