Come on guys let's not go over the top.
The OP didn't state that diesel was actually spilling from this truck and it sounds like they had made a decent attempt at a temporary repair pending getting the new cap. If this and the theft explanation was true they don't sound like a company generally causing problems by running unsafe vehicles.
Diesel spills are a serious problem and can be potentially fatal and I speak as someone who has suffered an insurance right-off due to a diesel spillage. But lets keep some perspective and not pillory someone who has themselves been a victim of crime and has seemed to make reasonable efforts to address the situation they found themselves in as a result.
