Angry lost bolts on barke caliper

Last night on the way home i have the rude privlage of losing both retaining bolts from my right front caliper. It came off and wedged in between the rim and the rotar causing the tire to stop turning instantly. Anyone else have this type of problem with their car. By the way its a 99 GT convert. i have to admit that i am slightly pissed right now...

I can imagine you are beyond pissed. Never had that happen to me and hope it never does on my 2000.
