What a fun story. I can see what the mathematician is saying, that with billions of "events" happening all the time, supremely improbable events like this are bound to happen periodically. And we only notice the ones that strike our fancy.
But it still makes for a fun read, and in the end it brought together two families and forged new friendships.

And you won't believe what happened. I saw a car with the license plate ARW 357. Can you imagine? Of all the millions of license plates in the state, what was the chance that I would see that particular one tonight? Amazing!"
