    I have no idea how you came to this conclusion but it is legally incorrect.

    Property theft is taking anything you do not own without consent of the owner. It has nothing to do with if that property deprived the owner of anything.

      Is it though?

      Theft in Scots Law is defined as the wrongful appropriation of the property of another, with the intention of permanently depriving the other person of his or her possession.
