Default So this past Saturday night, my Jeep was sabotaged and life sucks

Long story short, someone fucked with the lugnuts on the front left wheel of my Jeep while my friends and I were in a local diner over a joking comment.

Later down the road, the wheel shot off and the Jeep skidded to a stop on the brake rotor. Damage: brake rotor, front left fender, wheel, 5 broken wheel studs.

Now I have to find a wheel to replace it (or just find a set of 4 at a local salvage yard) and all will be good....except for the fender.

Dammit!

Thing is...if we were on the major highway and it happened, the damn thing would have likely rolled or careened into an enbankment. Some reason we took a back road and the speed the wheel fell off was like 20mph.

Well...we were putting 2 and 2 together. Nothing was wrong before we got there, then suddenly when we leave we are hearing noises. My friend went back out to my Jeep shortly after sitting down in the diner, not far behind the dude who received the comment. ALL five studs snapped cleanly and the same length. Tow truck driver confirmed our suspicion when he arrived and checked it out.
