Scary Day

After driving my Contemporary home yesterday i heard a clicking noise in the rear of the car. I couldnt find anything wrong at the time. When i went to put the car away I backed it up and I heard a bang and the drivers side rear sagged and i couldnt move it. While the car was at my place of work which is on FT Stewart right next to the MP Station (where i assumed it was safe) some one loosened all the drivers side rear lug nuts. The wheel half popped off the hub. I know they were tight before because when the car was delivered 2 weeks ago I checked them. That wheel was the only one that was messed with. my commute is 23 miles on a 55mph zone. I could have had a serious accident, possibly fatal. this was in poor taste for a joke, my wife thinks its a case of jealousy, maybe so but why would someone do that knowing full well it could get someone hurt. now i will visualy inspect my car a bit more carefully, My wife thinks Faith is a good name for that car....brought me home safe and was kind enough to not let me go anywhere till i was able to fix it. The good news is it didnt damage anything and i was able to get a few lugs back on so i could get her back in the garage...what a day.....
