Someone stole appliances from worksite

[Mike A.]

We just completed a rehab job which took about a year to complete and receive city approval in NJ. A few months ago, the GC told me some one stole two LG appliances (a washer and dryer set). He hired them as well. He was supposed to file a police report, but he said the police never came by. I do not believe he would steal them, as I've worked with him on several other projects. What is the best way to handle this? It's about 1600 in appliances, and there are bills still due. As GC, I think he's responsible. No? I can't even file a claim with the insurance company as I do not have the police report I've been requesting for months.
