Does applecare cover theft or loss ipad?

the normal one do not

they do have a special version called "AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss"

AppleCare Products - iPhone - Apple

it's unclear to me if that is only an option for iphones or not

it's only available in some countries

and I would assume it would be priced higher than the normal version

you can try asking them

Apple Support

AppleCare+ for iPad covers damage or technical failure - it does not cover loss or theft. Claims under AppleCare+ for iPad require you to produce the damage/defective device.

In some countries and regions, AppleCare for iPhone has an optional cover (additional cost) for loss or theft.

For loss or theft, check your domestic insurance policies for appropriate cover.

No, except for iPhones. A non-Apple insurance policy might provide additional coverage.
