Wiggly fender comes in contact with wheel, gets sucked into the space
between the tire and the fork, wheel locks because it's jammed and Bye
Bye Love...

Robert, after hearing that this wiggly fender is an egregious mistake,
I won’t go back to that shop. Your accident has me a little concerned
- I wouldn’t have known a fender could cause a wreck. Do you mind
telling us what happened? I hope you are ok.
Best,
Leah

I agree that it is beyond belief that a bike shop would not have the
bolt- not only the bolt, though- it amazes me that they don't have
the know-how and actually allowed a bicycle with an unsecured fender
to leave the shop "as is"
That, to me, is a huge red flag and I would immediately abandon the
shop. Though that may seem extreme I suffered greatly following a
high speed wreck due to an unsecured fender. It also makes me wonder,
what other safety issues is the mechanic oblivious to?
FWIW, in the off chance there was a packing error and that clip was
omitted a quick email to the friendly folks at VO would help turn up
a spare part. Also, as others have mentioned, a drill, some
low-profile bolts, a small "L" clamp, and a nylon or leather washer
will also be a suitable solution.
Good luck finding a reputable shop!
