Sunroof Disappeared

So I was driving yesterday and all of a sudden I heard a suction noise and then my sunroof cover thing started shaking. I opened it up and the glass to my sunroof was gone.

Luckily there was no one behind me

Any ideas why this would happen? I went to the dealer and they said they never saw anything like that happen and it's not gonna be covered cuz I'm out of warranty.

That is so odd... Maybe someone loosened it somehow? Maybe a sick prank?

Didn't bother to check. I assumed it would.

I only check to see if the car behind me was still good

The sunroof bolts do get loose over time. 1st sign is a "popping" noise when driving up and down an incline or decline.

The dealership re-torqued my bolts about 3 months ago under warranty.
