Where did you get your definition then?
Cambridge says this:
Quote:
|
dishonestly taking something which belongs to someone else and keeping it
|
Collins says this:
Quote:
1. the act or an instance of stealing
2. the crime of stealing
|
and for stealing:
Quote:
1. to take (something) from someone without permission or unlawfully,
2. to use (someone else’s ideas or work) without acknowledgment
|
And
Oxford says:
Quote:
|
the action or crime of stealing
|
and for stealing:
Quote:
|
take (something) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it
|
Unfortunately I don't have access to any lawyer only dictionaries.
