Two companies I have worked for many years ago went bump. I never got a penny of the money owed to me off either, or the Government so how could that be?
Derf:
Theft;
“Dishonestly appropriate property belonging to another with the intent to permanently deprive”
doesn’t tick the boxes for theft, but as your permission to have the vehicle has been revoked, it could be (and in all probability would be) considered as TWOC.

Wouldn’t be TWOC either. You didn’t Take Without Owners Consent.
The owner paid you to take it 
Is there an offence of ‘Not bringing back after the owner tells you to’ ■■?

once the reciever comes in the vehicle is no longer your bosses property, so if you are told to bring it back and you don’t it would be twoc sorry 
loads and loads of expert advice…a pity none of it agrees with the others!
I agree with switchlogic, take the truck back and get your car out.
Derf:
I think though long before the liquidators trip up at the yard, you’d see the obvious signs that the company was in administration…
I wouldn’t bet on it. Mate of mine worked for a small foundry in the west Midlands for some years; turned up one Monday morning, boss didn’t arrive, mate rang him, no answer, next minute the receivers turn up, job finished, end of. No payoff, nothing.
As luke said most of the time your car will probly be on the yard
. I would have though its best just to take the truck back and have done, far less stressful your unlightly to get anything from keeping the truck as it would normally be the propertly of a leese firm anyway so not even the liquidators have anything to do with it
You are also on dodgy ground as the insurance (if its even still valid once the firm goes bump) is dependant on you having the owners concent to drive the vehicle, If you were rung up and told to return to the yard and you said no then that could be deemed to invalidate the insurance
If you were that way inclined and you had the equiptment to do so draining some fuel off may well go unnoticed.
Liquidators and reps from manufactures who come to collect lese trucks will have there own insurance
