As xmasbaby0 said, during tax years 2018 through 2025, the only losses individuals can deduct are the ones caused by a federally declared disaster. If you are a business, you can still claim casualty losses for business property. This change was part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.
A theft loss deduction is available if the loss is due to a transaction entered into for profit. The theft losses can be deducted on the year the property was stolen. If you have a possible claim for reimbursement, then they are deducted on the year when you can decide if you will get a reimbursement or not.
