I assume there's no possibility that he simply forgot those items ..... There has to be some sinister motive ...right?
Sure there is a possibility. It is just that the more of these "coincidences" one has, the less believable it is that they are "coincidences".
You can take any two random unrelated occurrences and call it a “coincidence”. That doesn’t make it remarkable.
Lee Oswald had a cup of instant coffee that morning. What a coincidence!
