Someone stole my car a few months ago and after a month thankfully I was able to get it back

Someone stole my car, but a month later I thankfully got it back. It doesn't have damage, really. I think there might be some minor issues with the engine now but I'm not sure. I did lose my beeper key too. But I got the car back overall. Can I somehow get credit or a deduction or whatever for it having been stolen for a month? And if so, where do I put that information?

Sorry---theft losses are not deductible on your federal return since the tax laws changed for 2018 and beyond.  And---you got your car back.
