I think this was busted as a myth on Mythbusters - didn't do stuff-all to the engine they tested.

I don't know what they did in their testing, but during the early eighties I had to rebuild several motors in a fleet of Mack trucks that had been sabotaged using sugar. We had samples of the fuel & oil analyzed by an oil companies laboritory to determine the cause of the failures.
The sugar seems to cause the oil to thicken & loose its lubricating properties, causing an engine failure to the bottom end due to a lack of proper lubrication. When you strip the engine down everthing is gummed up & the residude is extremely difficult to clean.Most solvents & degreasers seemed to have a difficult job of breaking down the residude for some reason. Even trying to clean your hands after stripping the motor was a pain as the staining remained on your skin for some time afterwards.

Anything other than diesel in their tank will cause them pain!

My old boy has diesel stolen from his yard almost every weekend. It has happened for years and the cops don't care, even when they damage his stock.

He just hopes they flog the diesel and leaves everything else.
