Well Set-screws actually!

I have just re-tightened the torx screw that fits into the end of the left hand end (clutch end) of my handlebars. The one that secures the hand guard and bar end weight. I found this screw loose last week and tightened it up, and whilst cleaning the bike last night, I found that it had come very loose again.
This time I fitted it using thread-lock, and I did the same to the throttle end screw as a precaution, although this screw was tight.

Anyone else had the 'unscrew-ghost' visit his or her bike?

It must be the same one that unscrewed the top off my visor spray bottle a couple of weeks ago, which I keep under my seat, and all of the contents leaked out!
 
Just tightened mine up with a drop of Loctite. I removed the bolt and it was covered in oil/grease. Bit odd??
