Dictionary Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more steal·ing noun the action or offense of taking another person's property without permission or legal right and without intending to return it; theft.

If it was never yours, then absolutely. If it was yours and you are taking it back... then, well, I suppose it depends who you ask, but I tend to personally think it's not stealing in that case.
