ok if somone stole an item from me, say a bike
I have been _____________ (put in the missing word)
If you think robbed then this is why I have asked this , saying I have been robbed is the wrong term as robbed means if somone took somthing from me with force. So say you had an item taken off you what has happend you.

Robbed does not mean by force. If someone goes into your house when you are not home, and steals your things, then you have been robbed! If you don't want to use the word robbed,,, just say" I have been the victum of theft"

Being the type I am, my first thought was "ripped off"
stolen from
a victim of a theft / victimized by theft
separated from my property without my consent or permission

try using "ripped off". But being robbed doesn't always mean "by force". If someone breaks into your apartment while you're not home, you can still say you've "been robbed". or "ripped off".

"My pocket's been picked!" is a good one if you're talking about a wallet, etc. Otherwise you might as well get out of the passive voice and say "Someone stole my ____!"

how about "burgled" (as opposed to the American form, "burglarized"), i.e. robbed in a stealthy manner.

"I have been thieved."
Yes, it is a verb. To thieve is to steal something from someone, usually in secret.
