If you go by the whole “code is law” approach talked about by some crypto people, then I guess it wouldn’t be theft?
The blockchain has no concept of people/entities owning things, in that universe the ownership of an address is simply having its private key.
(Of course in the real meat-world we have courts, non-code-contracts, and rule of law. It would probably be criminal, in the same way finding a weakness in e.g PayPal and transferring peoples money is criminal)
