Looking at you.
Why not? Just think about the type of people you hang around. How many of them will steal from you, if they could? You are setting yourself up for a life style. Also, you run the risk that one day someone, who you are stealing from, takes out a gun and puts a bullet in your head.
so what if i don't involve my friends in my thievery? say i hang out with normal people, and only steal from companies who would rather go bankrupt than 'shoot me in the head?'
The less we can trust each other, the more complicated ordinary life gets. One could say stealing behavior is like a lesion, violating the pragmatic conformity of society.

You steal? You steal what is not your possessions? Then I suppose it would make it yours. Keep in mind that nothing comes without consequences, whether it is now or later.
It still doesn't make it yours though cause you didn't get permission to have it, so it is not yours.
Can I steal your wife? Can I steal your life? Can I steal your identity? Are you okay with that?
The only thing I did steal was toilet paper cause we were in a place....and we just put some in our pockets. It didn't hurt anyone and we stopped.

If you work for something that is available to all, or is up for grabs by someone else who is willing to give it. Basically you earn it.
But it takes force to keep it. Even if someone steals it, it's still yours... you just don't get to enjoy it.
Most people would not think it's ok to take some thing that some one else has worked for. If some one does thats fine but they need to be ready for the consequences because eventually they will get caught. I used to steal my lunch from a supermarket every day when I was homeless and had no money. I thought this was ok and even now would think no less of some one in the same situation doing it. Saying stealing is wrong no matter the context is in my opinion wrong. If you take some thing knowing it will hurt the person then it shows a lack of empathy, it simply comes down to the person and there morality or lack of.
