Default what should i do?

i was installing my plenum cover today and my stepdad crept up on me and scared me as a joke and i dropped the front passenger side bolt. after looking for it about 30 min i gave up. my problem is do i go driving around with it missing or do i go get another from ford? or can i go to a hardware store and get a similar sized bolt?

I would try an autoparts store first... maybe you can email the people you bought it from and explain what happened...
