I don't see why it's such a worry if the passport is stolen, particularly for those in a location with an embassy that will be able to replace it in a timely manner.
A lost US passport will only cost you $120 and the hassle of filling out the application.
The key is to have a photocopy in your room in order to expedite the process.
In Belarus, if you are living and working long term, you must have a notarized copy of your passport, i.e. translated and stamped.
