On my RC car I ALWAYS spin the nuts off the left hand side so there is some truth to the theory. I'm not saying this is exactly what has happened in the case but I feel it isn't as far fetched as you think.

Difference is the RC car nut is on the centre of the rim as opposed to several nuts off centre. The only thing stopping the rim spinning on the hub is a small metal rod which gets play in it after a while so the rim can essentially undo the nut.

As indicated previously. Wrapping them in alloy foil will solve this problem !! Stops them from undoing and stop the theft as thieves think they are wired and produce electric shock !!!!

Wrap the whole wheel, nay, the whole CAR in aluminium foil.

Flawless.
