If the shop mech was the last person to touch the bike, it needs to go back there ASAP for a full check (and they can fucking collect it). They need to make sure there are no other fucking loose bolts that they cant be sure they did or didnt touch, FFS.
That simple ride could have ended extremely badly for you, and with the emergency services stretched as they the police would have then enquired as to why you were out on your bike...!!!
