The only reason in my mind that they fell off was because the cheap metal they use for mounting bolts contracted during cold weather. That said I agree that checking things every so often is a good idea. If I had thought to do that I might have prevented the issue all together. Seeing as the problem didn't make itself known until the thing fell off the manifold, I wasn't concerned but yes, I will check more often now that I know what the cause is.
