Sam just robbed a bank and was halfway across the bridge when he heard a loud bang. The car veered toward the railing as Sam fought to keep it under control. Easing the car to a stop, Sam got out to see that his front tire was blown.
Knowing the cops are only minutes behind, Sam raced to the trunk and got the spare tire out. He frantically loosened all the stubborn log nuts of the blown tire and threw them all in the hubcap. When Sam removed the flat tire, he lost his balance and accidently knocked over the hubcap, sending all the log nuts into the water below. As he stared at the rushing waters, the faint sound of the siren could be heard from a distance.
It was still almost a mile to the border.
What did Sam do to get away?

Man, if anyone lost a set of LUG nuts (don't know what a log nut is), you'd figure that they'd be screwed. Conventionally, one would have to hitch a ride to a local auto parts store to pick up a new set. The spare tire usually doesn't come with its own.
But stepping back and looking at the whole picture, you might realize that you should still have 12 lug nuts (and maybe 15, depending on the make of car). What you could do then is to take one lug nut off each of the other wheels and use them on the spare.
Of course, this is an emergency measure only, and not recommended as a permanent solution. But then again you're a !@#$$% criminal fleeing from the police, so what's a little safety issue?
