Assuming that it didn't just occur, you weren't robbed (violence or physical threat used), and the suspect is not still there, then call the non-emergency number for the local agency where the theft occurred. Some agencies will do the report over the phone. Some will want to send an officer out to speak to you in person.

File a report with the police. Be sure to provide make, model and serial number and any other identifying information on it. This is important for several reasons. First, there is a chance the thief will get caught. Your report will identify your gun as stolen property, and will help to put the thief where he belongs - in prison. Second, if a gun happens to be used in a crime and abandoned at the scene, having a report on file will keep you off the list of suspects. Third, there is a small chance your gun will be returned to you.
