I think you nailed it. I wouldn't be surprised if it's linked to that repair place... they have access to the unlocking socket, the customer's address and car info, they pass it on to interested parties...

Because it makes for some good Internet conspiracy fodder.
"Jimmy...it's Joe down at Tire Shack...I have an ugly stock G37 rim, yours for the taking. The other three will require at least 3 additional seconds to remove the lock nuts if you're willing to take the risk..."

More than likely the person installing the locking nut forgot to torque it down, or something about not getting the key engaged properly. Either that or the nuts themselves have a problem with the thread quality.
