is it possible to prove that some stolen ammo might be yours if you think you know who stole it? i mean, i have some random boxes that would not fit in the cans that got stolen... possibly lot numbers or anything?

Sad to say, but you are essentially out of luck. With ammo in short supply and in high demand, I would expect more of this sort of thing to occur.
At least then, you will know the thief did not have the satisfaction of shooting them.
a friend of mine had all his guns stolen while he was away on a business trip
he was 99.9999 sure who did it a ex- brother in law took them and a safe 1500 pounds worth and even guns no one else knew about or would have found that were hidden away his ex BIL knew about . also knew he was going to be away for a month
even his ex wife and family pleaded for him to not harm the POS I mean fellow , who had took off to another state
last time I talked to him it was sorry about your luck from the investigation side of proving it .
I retired shortly after so lost touch with him I do not know if he ever received any thing or any guns back hopefully maybe insurance . and I am sure his ex BIL still stays miles away ,

Mabe. Set a trap. Put more ammo out. The thief may come back.

Place a public notice that you made an error while reloading and the ammunition is UNSAFE.
I know of a person that set a trap with HOT ammo but there could be liability.
You can never fix the criminal minded. I once had a box of 9mm snagged from me during a yard sale. I didn't catch it. But another patron noticed him take it. But, was gone before we were able to do anything.
I also unknowingly bought some stolen gun parts online. Apparently, a person working in a police confiscation room and was taking some of these items he didn't think would be noticed. Basically they were marked for destruction and figured he could somehow sneak them out and sell them. Myself and a few others had bought some if the items. They (FBI) had trailed his sales. And retrieved them. They actually called me up and asked to meet them to relinquish the items. Did explain all the information regarding the how and why. They were polite and explained that I wasn't in any trouble. I of course wasn't able to be refunded for the items.
