The word "theft" can be applied to a lot of things...
Think about the USA: it's a bit of land that have been "stolen" from its native inhabitants. After that, it's been "stolen" from the British Empire (actually, given the large use of weapons and murder in the process, "robbery" would be a better word).
Is Bruce Springsteen a "thief" because he's
born in the U.S.A.?
In the late 1800s the Apache who took the horses from the ranch illegally founded on his own land was called "thief"....
Can somebody remind me who won the war between American and Natives?
And who's called "thief" now?
