Which is probably why the OP informed the hire company of the problem and asked them to fix it.
If the OP didn't have a secure place to leave it, what would you have suggested that they did with it?

I would suggest the OP gets a trailer and take it back to the hire company, or demand that the hire company come and collect it.

Someone with a name like "thebritishbrickie" you would assume hes a brick layer or something, so its not gonna be hard to get a trailer.

Both parties are to blame.

Just confusing tenses. He obviously posted what he thinks op should have done prior to it being stolen

Assuming that the hire company dropped it off, then I don't see how it being stolen is the OP's fault, as he notified them that the door was missing and therefore it was a security risk. He can't be expected to return it - it was up to the hire company to do that if they also felt it was a risk.

Everyone seems to be missing a vital question (that I can't see answered).

IF the digger was delivered without a door AND he complained, BUT THEN went on to use it, he has accepted it as is.

Thats the vital question here and what a judge will ask if/when it goes to court.

A door missing wouldn't stop it working though.

Even if the OP had insurance, the missing door would make it invalid.

I bet it's a scam by the hire company who have stolen it themselves! They did know it was there after all...
