Unlikely someone stole one of those, probably just fell off as all that piece is is a plug to keep your stanchion from filling up with junk. A bar plug for handlebars will fit in there and plug it up, or even just a piece of tape would do the trick. I would ask a bikeshop for a handlebar plug if you don’t want to go the tape route, should only cost a buck or two.
That looks like a basic Betty spring fork. Those are glorified top caps. I would pound in a cork from a nice bottle of wine and call it a day
Just ask the shop for a pair of hadlebar end plugs. They’ll match and look perfect.
Theres only one
Break out the 3-D printer and print a new one.
No one stole it, it would be easier and not that expensive to replace and even slightly upgrade the entire forks. Probably about $100 us online
When looking at the stain on your fork I‘d highly recommend you instead of repairing to see it as an occasion to look for a new or a used fork of better quality …this one is anyway already scrap…
