title: Lua if returns false but should return true
body: <p>So I have this piece of code</p>
  
  <pre><code> for i=1, #result, 1 do
  
              local vehicleProps = json.decode(result[i].vehicle)
              print(vehicleProps.plate)
              print(plate)
  
              if vehicleProps.plate == plate then
                  found = true
                  print(found)
                  break
              end
              print(found)
  
          end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The output I get is</p>
  
  <pre><code>UCF 804 
  864539 
  false 
  65507 
  864539 
  false 
  864539 
  864539 
  false 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am fairly new to Lua, but it is pretty simple, yet I cannot understand why when vehicleProps.plate is equal to plate, the code returns false?
  Is there any way to check if two values are the same?
  I would appreaciate any type of help here.</p>
