Please quickly

Please. Someone has challenged me by saying this sentence is right . I told him it's not but he insisted.

1) I have a book stolen.

How does this come?
Is it has a tricky clue????

I agree with you. One could say: I have a book stolen from the library. As written, it would not be idiomatic English.

It could also work in the past tense:

I had a book stolen last week. (Causative used idiomatically)

As it stands, it is very hard to make it correct without creating a rather forced context.
