The question as to why somoene stold something has nothing to do with the question we are discussing. We are trying to ascertain whether stealing is immoral or not... and the answer is yes. Of course a thief might disagree, but universally speaking it is frowned upon. Thus there are universal principles that exist, and will always exist.
