Even if someone does--the crime is not "theft," it's "fraud."
As long as the seller is clear on saying, "this is not the original," it's not even that. Plenty of generic items sell by saying, "Compare our version to [brandname]", insisting they have the same ingredients/design and just lack the brandname official seal. An exact copy of a Camry--if it didn't run into patent violations--could advertise itself as a "Clonery" and sell as many as possible.
