It's pretty much a case to case basis, but your local police might be able to help you. Other than that, I don't think there's anything anyone can do.

It's more likely for you to receive some sort of help if your country's laws recognize Bitcoin though. If they treat it as actual currency or an asset, then you should be able to receive help just like money was stolen from you. If you live in a country where Bitcoin is unregulated, then I wish you good luck; you're going to need it. Legal help and protection is one of the positives of governments regulating cryptocurrencies.

when your coin is missing or stolen there no ways you can do about it, because if you lose your private key nobody else in this world have it. or if it stolen i dont know you mean stolen is they send your coin to another address or what, but you still cant get your coin back because no way we can figure it out who have that address
