If he had to then I would just make sure that the threads for the missing bolt are still good, if so then the bolt came loose. No reason to butt heads over a loose bolt, just use loctite on the next one.
Oh, I forgot to state that they replaced the front and rear sprockets with the chain as well. That's why they messed with the front sprocket.

Isn't it pretty serious if the sprocket came loose?
