Sadly, it's a common enough "prank" that can have dire consequences. A friend of mine had the lug nuts loosened (not removed) from his Firebird. He was doing about 80 when the wheel came off. Fortunately, he wasn't killed, but he was seriously injured.
I do believe that it was probably kids -- one of those dare ya things (can you get away with it in public?) who have no idea of the possible consequences.
Pranks of this nature are much more common during holidays and summers in TV. Older grandkids do get bored.
