Maybe someone was trying to ripped them off.
I had the same problem over 18 months ago when someone try to remove my 18
inch magnesium alloy racing rims off the vehicle and could not get the
security locks off.

Subject: DML: 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.
