HRS §490:8-406

Tell the issuer quickly if your stock certificate is lost or stolen

If your stock certificate is lost, destroyed, or stolen, you must tell the company that issued it within a reasonable time after you find out. If you wait too long and the company transfers the certificate before you tell them, you cannot make a claim against them for that transfer or for a new certificate.
