Ring gear bolt backed out

This morning as I was leaving work I noticed a puddle under my rear axel it was gear oil, it was coming from the differential cover. Their was a hole that came from the inside of the cover so I limped my truck home. Took the cover off and found one ring gear bolt was laying in the bottom of the axel. My truck has 101000 miles this is the first time the cover has been taken off. I was wanting to See if anybody else has bad this happen to them and to give a warning to others.
