I refuse to believe anyone would start the car and try to shift...

Then again, it seems unlikely that you were able to drop a bolt inside the actual transmission/transaxle itself.
Possibly just inside a cover or housing? A starter bolt is not going to be small.

Maybe you just knocked the shift linkage loose?
