Stupid antenna move

Okay, so I pulled my antenna out to lightly coat the gear rack with grease as a preventative sort of thing... and left the 17mm nut sitting on my back spoiler. This morning I drove to the bank and horror of horrors, a neighbor who always makes fun of my Saab (but is a good friend nonetheless) was behind me at a traffic light, in traffic. I turned on my radio, heard the normal "click click" sound from the rear indicating the antenna was going up, then I heard a *clunk* that sounded like it came from outside the car. I looked in my sideview mirror to see my antenna poingint towards the ground and hanging from its white nylon gear strip. My neighbor was laughing like a man posessed and pulled into the bank behind me where I stuffed the antenna back into its socket, minus the 17mm nut which disappeared. Good thing I've got a spare I found in a junkyard! :)
