You only posted part of the ayah:
24:27] O you who believe, do not enter homes other than yours without permission from their inhabitants, and without greeting them. This is better for you, that you may take heed.
[24:28] If you find no one in them, do not enter them until you obtain permission. If you are told, "Go back," you must go back. This is purer for you. GOD is fully aware of everything you do.
[24:29] You commit no error by entering uninhabited homes wherein there is something that belongs to you. GOD knows everything you reveal, and everything you conceal.
Your translation is incorrect.

you misunderstood it. What's meant by unoccupied houses here are places where u buy ur goods from or supply ur needs such as super markets or stores. they are unoccupied because no ppl live there ...there fore u don't ask for permission b4 entering.u just enter.
"27. O you who believe ! Enter not houses other than your own, until you have asked permision and greeted those in them; that is better for you, in order that you may remember.
28. And if you find no one therein, still, enter not until permission has been given.And if you are asked to go back , go back,for it is purer for you.And Allah is All-Knower of what you do.
29. There is no sin on you that you enter (without taking permission) houses uninhabited (i.e.not possesed by anybody),(when) you have any interest in them. And Allah has the knowledge of what you reveal and what you conceal."

24:29: "It is no sin in you that you enter uninhabited houses wherein you have your necessaries; and Allah knows what you do openly and what you hide."
No. First of all this word came from God and not Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) as he is revealing it. The verse talks about houses where NO ONE lives in. If a person is just going in an inhabited house for comfort then whats wrong with it. I don't see how you can get the idea of stealing.

anyone would have done it. btw the crusaders (christians) pretty much decided to beat the siht out of the muslims to take back the holy land.
