I'm officially freaked out now.  Normally overtight bolts mysteriously
disappearing without a trace should not be a common occurance, but this
is exactly what happened to my wife's '91 Maxima as well.

One bolt missing in action, the other bolt sheared off when I tried to
remove it since it was siezed so badly.  Go figure.  The alternator had
never been removed on that car, either.
