Thanks for that! Was the kind of input I was looking for!

The nut comes loose.
The wheel falls off again.
If the put the same wheel back on it'll happen again, and a serrated nut would make it worse as that would grip the wheel more.
Try new wheels, new nuts and a drop of low strength thread lock on the threads.
