Stealing is absolutely a crime - taking someone else's property from them without their consent or any compensation is morally wrong.

However, what about when that person wrongfully obtained the object(s) in question, as in the oft-fictionalized case of Prince John with his unfair taxation of the poor that boardered on robbery? What about stealing from a thief? It is still a crime, aye, but can you truly still suggest that a thief who steals from thieves and gives back to the original owner is in the wrong?
