Thanks for the confession.
I did the same last month on my Trailer, lost one wheel at the other fell off opposite a police station.
simdeb:
Picked up a carvan for some one , on the A46 the wheel came off of the caravan just missing traffic and landed in a tree . Had to use some of the nuts off the other wheel only to find 2 left on and the others in the hub cap ,just shows you never know when picking any trailer up check the wheel nuts

Bush Tucker Man:
I almost had it happen a few years ago, the summer after buying my Discovery 50th.
I'd had the front wheels off to check the brakes & copper-grease the hub-faces & stud-threads (to avoid ;galvanitic locking')
I was going down the road about 15 miles from home when the steering went all wobbly & there was a clunking noise.
The nuts had come loose.
To this very day, I'd swear I'd tightened them, and can only assume that the grease had interfered with my tightening them properly
Boddle:
Cann't say anything I did similar thing many years ago.
I had been changing wheels from side to side on my 109 when my Dad ask me to move some stuff to the tip got distracted anyway my rear left hand wheel over took me going along Binley road by bull head in Coventry, it hit a traffic balard took of then went along grass park area going direct straight towards a young family have a pinic (Odd place for Pinic) fortunately it ran out of steam before it got there. unfortunately the balard had hit some-ones car.
You don't half feel a fool :lol:
