Jack: Shyam might have taken it.

Me: I would be mad.


or,

Me: I can’t find my wallet.

Jack: Shyam probably took it.

are they both correct?

Both exchanges are okay, but the third sentence in each does not fit. The expected reply from "Me" would typically be: Me: It would be/would have been mad of him to take/have taken it.

mad is casual speech for angry.

I think 'Me' is saying I would be angry (if I knew he took it).
