I had the same thing happen with one of my 190Ds...
These days I take the lugs loose and tighten them back up with the torque
wrench so I know they're tight enough to be safe but loose enough I can get
them off again if I need to.

I few years ago I bought new tires for the Nissan Frontier. Drove home
from the tire shop and next day driving back in to town there was a
strange vibration and noise. Pulled off at a convenience store and found
the lug nuts on the driver's side front wheel were lose, not even finger
tight.
Tightened them up, checked all the other wheels, and went on with my
day.
Now I always check them whenever a shop has had a wheel off.
