The answer

Informing the official about the theft is permissible. The thief has committed a great sin. You are not originally liable for the stolen money because the custodian's hand is a hand of trust, and the trustworthy person is to be believed by his oath, unless you were negligent in safeguarding the key until it was taken from you and the theft occurred; in that case, you are liable. There is no specific supplication for this matter, and one should supplicate with whatever is easy for them.
