Default Anyone experience this issue in earlier model RCs?

So A couple months ago, I noticed a nut sitting on the floor on the driver side of the car. I didn't think much at the time.

This morning, I noticed the second one. Im not sure if they are falling from somewhere near the pedals or under my steering wheels but now I'm alittle concern. I'll look into it more this afternoon but wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue. I'm thinking way too much vibration and these are coming loose.

I have a 2015 RC. Thinking of taking it to the dealership but don't want them to charge me up the *** just to check.

Just out of curiosity, do you know anyone that would toss a couple of nuts in your car to mess with you?

Those don't look like the kind of nuts that would fall off, and the RC is not generally considered a car that produces much vibration. I have a vintage RC (first one sold in Cincinnati), and nothing has fallen off yet.
Still, if nuts and bolts were falling apart in my car, I'd gladly pay an experienced Lexus tech to have a look. You want a technician familiar enough with the car to spot something missing or misaligned, and the RC is not very common, so I would not think an independent mechanic, who might charge less, would be very familiar with the view upwards from the footwell.
You paid out the *** for a Lexus for a good reason when less expensive cars were readily available; you really have no reason to ***** now about paying for the concomitant first class service from trained and experienced technicians when you need it.
