Lua if returns false but should return true

So I have this piece of 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

The output I get is

UCF 804 
864539 
false 
65507 
864539 
false 
864539 
864539 
false

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.

function all_trim(s)
                        return s:match( "^%s*(.-)%s*$" )
                    end
                if all_trim(vehicleProps.plate) == all_trim(plate) then

Edited my code to be as follows, Looks like there was a space in there afterall, thank you everybody for trying to help
