It's not really "stealing" b/c it's not their "property" yet (they currently do not own it)--- but it would be more polite to ask them where they found said item. So I doubt they could legally call the law on you-- however, if they beat the tar out of you, I think you'd deserve it. Best of luck in your adventures!

That is so funny - I've done that (kindof). I was at Trader Joe's and I needed Raspberries for my daughters birthday. I sent someone in the back to see if they had anymore left because the section where they were was empty. The girl came back and said they were all gone. I walked back to where they should've been and there was a cart there with raspberries and some other stuff in it. I looked around and no one was walking back to the cart. I walked around the store - thinking if when I got back and no one moved that cart I would take them. Well, when I got back to the cart they were still there and the cart didn't move - so I took them and paid for them (quickly) and rushed out of the store. Is it stealing??? Maybe in a sense but you probably wouldn't get prosecuted for it. By the way, before I took the raspberries, they were sitting in the cart that didn't move for about 15 minutes. But I still cannot believe I did that.
