I once left Mexico without turning in the papers saying that I took
out of the country the car I took into the country.

Many months later, I received a letter asking for proof that I did
not leave the car in the country.

Who is the "they" here? You mean the airline check-in staff.

No of course they aren't that rigorous. If they see your form in
your passport they will take it out, but they aren't the slightest
bit proactive if they don't notice it.

Technically they could refuse you entry but I'd say its unlikely.

If its a business trip and your company is paying you could take
the risk out of it by applying for a visa.

They can forget. It happened to me just the other week (fortunately I
noticed before disembarking the ORD-LHR flight and handed it to a flight
attendant).

You can easily claim that you did return the form and the airline loss
it.
