Wiktionary defines it as: To take illegally, or without the owner's permission, something owned by someone else without intending to return it.
“To take ILLEGALLY-” if it wasn’t a crime, it wouldn’t be illegal, and therefore wouldn’t be stealing- it would be taking.
Or without the owner's permission; I even put it in bold.
