Because there were no complaints, they left it in. There are many sorts of retained fasteners, with large differences in cost and ease of application and use. It pays to devote some time to choosing the type that best suits the application. For example, the very simplest solution, if it's acceptable, may be to add an e-clip (those flat spring clips that look a bit like the Euro sign or the 'E' of the CE mark: see http://supaseal.co.uk/clips.htm) to the existing fixing screw. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
