Report the theft/loss to the police and get a police report. Immediately notify the issuing embassy so they cancel/void the visa before some criminal may use it and cause complications for you via identity theft. Reporting to the police promptly helps convince the issuing embassy that the loss is genuine so there won't be suspicion you're part of a passport/visa racket.

Apply for a new passport, then return to whichever embassy you got the visa from and apply for a new visa. Remember to carry the police report along and possibly a photocopy of the old visa and passport details page when going for your interview.

Finally have on you all documents (e.g bank statements, employment letter etc) needed just like you would if applying for a new visa. Some countries don't just replace a missing visa, they evaluate you all over again like a fresh application.
