How do you report a theft of firearm if you don't know it's been stolen? It's like having to report if you are pregnant but just had sex. Stupid laws.
You can report missing or stolen. I had an old Stevens .410/.22 that I reported missing or stolen. When I lived in WV we had a campfire/camping area along the river bottom of our property. I used to keep that rifle handy in case coons or possums or fox came around (rabies was a big problem). I think I left it leaning on a wooden lantern post down there and forgot about it when we packed up and went back to the house.
We used to have all manner of young people trespass because of the water access in that area, so I assume it was taken, however not being entirely positive it was stolen (I could have leaned it against a tree for all I can remember)- I reported it lost or stolen.
In any event there is a record with the sheriff that the firearm is no longer in my possession.

It never resurfaced.
I'll report it when I notice it of course but I have so many I don't do an inventory every night that would really get tiring.

I keep a log of my firearms with serial numbers and photo's. If they get stolen or burned in a fire my insurance agent will be able to compensate me accordingly.
Smart move. I do the same, I have receipts for every one bought in a retail transaction.
I'm alright about that. Even more, that should definitely be that way everywhere!
