Well it had to happen!! For 10,000km I was driving around with a stripped nut on my Mondeo front lhs wheel, after driving home from Coma to Sydney I decided to rotate the tyres only to find I could fit the security socket in but when I tried to turn the nut it fell off. Went to the tyre place where they pulled that tyre off to check a screw in the tyre a few months ago they must have used a air gun to either take it off or put it on, but because they didn't charge me I didn't have a receipt to prove it,needless to say I will not use them again. My dealer had a special extraction drill for these sort of problem and requested them to replace the other 3 nuts while at it. The team leader said they had to stock up on nuts as nearly every customer there requested the same thing hate to say what would have happen if I had a flat in an isolated area of the Hume grrrrrr
