theft-prone property
Explanation:
Although Neil's reply would seem to be the most "authentic" in the insurance world, you might use this phrase. It doesn't really matter whether it's self-explanatory since it would have to be defined in the policy anyway.

valuables


Explanation:
Literally 'goods/articles especially liable to be stolen' (Norstedts), but I would suggest 'valuables' is a more common term in English.

items specially attractive to thieves


Explanation:
This is how it would commonly be put in UK insurance. Such items need not necessarily be "valuables" - stocks of tobacco, mobile phones or small electronic devices could all come into this category.
