Which DEA form is used to report theft or loss of controlled substances?

Reporting theft or loss of controlled substances to the DEA is done with DEA Form 106. This form documents the specifics of the incident—which substances were involved, quantities, what was stolen or lost, where and when it happened, any possible suspects, and an estimate of value. Submitting it promptly helps the DEA track diversion and take appropriate action, with the usual expectation to file within one business day of discovering the loss or theft. The other forms are for different regulatory actions: Form 41 is for destruction or disposal of controlled substances or closing a business, Form 224 is for registering to dispense controlled substances, and Form 363 is for narcotic treatment program registrations.
