Almost lost my nuts!

Rotated my tires with some help yesterday (back is messed up lately,
can't chance the heavy lifting). We found that my left front wheel's
lug nuts - all 6 of them - were barely tight. Took almost no force from
the tire iron to remove them.

Last time that I can remember taking that wheel off was when I put on my
new shocks, back in September. I *know* I cranked them tight then. So
now the question is - how did they come loose? The other 3 wheels were
fine. I didn't use a torque wrench but I know they were on tight. Did
someone screw with me in a parking lot? Did they just work loose?
Could someone else (Jiffy Lube) have tampered with them?

I drove several hundred miles with that wheel like that and well, now
I'm a little nervous. At least it stayed on.
