I now retorque after anyone else has touched my vehicle. Had new tires installed on my TV and a week later heading out with the trailer connected felt a strange sensation and finally stopped to check it out. A guy who was following me pulled over and told me the left rear wheel of my truck was wobbling. Sure enough the mechanic must have gotten called off to the phone or something and hadn't torqued that wheel. By the time I caught it the wheel was ruined. The tire store was very apologetic and of course replaced it at their cost. Had I retorqued after 25-50 miles I would have found the issue before it damaged the wheel.
Having said that I've always checked the torque before I leave with the trailer and have never found a nut not to spec.
