“I’ve also seen pilots not see the fuel caps are not reattached after fueling and the air flow over the wings sucks the tanks empty in ten minutes.”

Wow, that is astonishing. Little bit different from forgetting to close the fuel door at the gas station.

I’ve also seen a Baron taxiing down the ramp after landing with the cement filled tie down tire and rope still hanging from the tail. I’ve seen pilots take off with their pilot tube covers still on. So much for airspeed? I’ve had to go rescue a Falcon pilot out on the runway because he left the nose wheel link lock pin for steering in his car glove box.
