Can I report a loss due to a contractor who worked on my home and stole money from me (taking money for uncompleted work)?

No. For tax years 2018 through 2025, if you are an individual, losses of personal-use property from fire, storm, shipwreck, or other casualty, or theft are deductible only if the loss is attributable to a federally declared disaster (federal casualty loss). You can add the cost of capital improvements to your original cost basis which could reduce gain on a future sale.
This would not qualify as a disaster but I added the link for designated areas in 2023.
