Slackened wheel studs

Was at Carrefour (supermarket chain) in Hasselt yesterday for some xmas shopping and when I got back o the car there was a business card stuck in the drivers door. Drove home and by the time I got home I thought that there was a very slight vibration from the steering , couldn't see anything wrong tho.
This morning the SWMBO got an email to warn us of people going round the carparks and trying doors to see if they are open but also putting a business card in the door to make it look like that is all they are doing and to cover their tracks.
Drove to the grand kids nativity play this morning and thought the vibration was getting worse on the car so stopped and had another look and found all the studs on the front drivers side had been slackened off and one stud was missing, even the security stud was slackened off. the other 3 wheels were fine just as they all should have been.
Carrefour dosn't have cameras on their carpark but they do have a foot patrol looking after the cars so when they open after xmas I will be in touch with them to see if anything happened. Will also check with the Park hotel in Hasselt as it was one of their business cards.
Sooo... if you see a business card on your car, be careful Thumbs Up Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

All,

Something similar happened to a friend of mine, and he was doing 130km/h down the motor-way when he realized his front tires were loose. He quickly pulled over, but before he came to a stand-still, his left front tire rolled off. The mechanics afterwards told him they could see that one bolt on each front tire had been pushed off by the car, the vibrations, etc., but the other 4 were taken off by hand (there were no scratches).

The reasons for this was completely unbeknownst to him, and I can't see why anyone would want to do that to someone else. The police got involved, but all they said was that it probably was teenagers.

Watch out!
