Help..possible wheel theft attempt???

I noticed a wheel lock was missing on one of my rims is it at all possible that it fell off driving or does it mean someone has the key and was starting to remove my rims . I dont kno f this is something they do alot like steal locks one by one or just take one to test the key. Can someone please let me kno if its possible it would fall off on its own or something thanks.

If it wasn't tight enough, it'll fall off on it's own.

Re: Help..possible wheel theft attempt???

ConFiberX has a new product. It comes with four smooth faced lugs, one for each wheel the bracket is comprised of a high grade rubber. The bracket shrinks around the nut and squeez's it while you torque the bitch on or off. The bracket is capable for use with torque guns and regular socket style wrenches. It has been tested in multiple scenarios while both in race conditions and in everyday driving conditions.
ConFiberX sells the bracket with a serviced serial number. So they know every person with this style of bracket. ConFiberX will also inform your local P.D. of your ownership of this bracket in case there are any issues in your or any other neighborhood.
