Loose lug nuts out of the blue...
Parked my car, it ran fine. Now that I returned, drove a little, and noticed my lug nuts were loose on one of my wheels... out of the 4, 3 of them were tremendously loosened about a 1/4".... Anyone know why this may have happened? They were already tightened after I left the car. I don't think anyone in their right mind would want to steal blackies...

So can corrosion on the studs causing false torque readings on the wrench during tightening.
