You must file a theft report if you intend to make a claim against your insurance. Also if it was an expensive item, you should file the theft report because arrests are being made all the time. If a person is arrested for a crime and the police see that expensive item, you will probably get it back rather than having it sold at a police auction and the money going to the state.
