[Spridgets] Diamond is a little rougher

[Guy R Day]

Perhaps this was the result of an aborted attempt at wheel / tire theft from 
the night school car park?  The thief was interrupted prior to taking all 
the nuts off or he realised the tires were the wrong size?
May be worth getting some locking wheel nuts.  If you're going to have to 
replace lug nuts after loosing some when the wheel came off you may as well.

Glad you're around.
Best of luck with the 'Rough Diamond'

No it is not too embarrassing because we really have no idea why they were 
loose.  Lambert changed his tires to a new set on Friday with different rims 
after discovering that he had a problem with his rear wheel cylinder on the 
back passenger side.  The tires were all put back on with an impact wrench 
so there is no reason why they should have come loose.  He even drove it to 
our car show and back on Saturday and then to work and back again yesterday. 
He was on his way home from teaching night school when this happened.
