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

Explanation:
When a controlled substance is stolen or lost, you report it to the DEA using a dedicated form designed for that purpose. The form is DEA Form 106. It is used to document the incident in detail—what was taken or lost, the quantities, where and when it occurred, and the circumstances—and to alert the DEA’s Diversion Control Division so they can assess risk and take appropriate action. Reports are typically required promptly, often within 1 business day of discovery, and may also involve local law enforcement. Other forms have different roles: one is used for the disposal of controlled substances, another for the initial registration of a facility or practitioner, and others cover separate regulatory processes.
