My husband's truck and tools was stolen how do we claim the tools that were not reimbursed by insurance?

To deduct a theft loss, you must itemize your deductions on Schedule A. The amount of your deduction is limited to the amount of the loss that exceeds 10% of your Adjusted Gross Income after a $100 deductible

As an example, if you had $5,000 (unreimbursed) stolen, and your Adjusted Gross Income is $40,000, you would gain the following tax benefit.

After deducting $100, you are left with $4,900 which is $900 above your Adjusted Gross Income-$4,000.

Your deduction would therefore be $900.
