Leaf-licker with a wrench got you!

No Andy thats no mystery. The halfshaft bolts are notorious for backing out. Its a good idea to check them at every oil change if possible. I would advise using red threadlocker on the bolts. You may as well just replace them all along with the nordlock washers. Do yourself a favor and get it all from your local stealership, you want to make sure that the bolts you have in there are the proper grade, as far as the nordlocks go you have to get those at the dealership.

check out these new halfshaft bolt lockers - I haven't tried them but they look interesting.

The only mystery is how the brake yoke didn't get chewed up when the bolts backed out... typically the heads of the bolts will hit the yoke on the brake caliper and chew it up if they just backed out and fell off.
