IMO Of course it is, Stealing bitcoin is illegal as much as stealing money, although bitcoin is not considered money yet so not directly illegal in the aspect of it being money but it has a value therefore it's not preferred at all...
Indeed why wouldn't it be illegal to STEAL bitcoin stealing is stealing so it will always be illegal but the only thing that kinda sucks is that the authorities can't enforce not to steal on bitcoin cause its so untraceable. |

Stealing bitcoins is not illegal but its of course also not good, I think that there is still no real rule for this in certain country's due to that I think its not illegal.
I think you are also than a sad person if you are doing this in my eyes.
Even there are no regulations for bitcoin, we must follow our own moral so stealing bitcoin must be illegal only. Similarly, for the case of OP we need to act based up on our moral values instead of looking for any legal guidelines for keeping those bitcoin. Going as per morals, will give peace of mind always. |

I think the one who steal bitcoins are not illegal because the bitcoin cant be traced you know lots of people are getting rid of their coins and no one is doing anything about it so it is not illegal.

I do not agree with that. Stealing of anything is illegal. Stealing bitcoin is not different from stealing other properties. |

So you are saying, just because it can not be traced it is OK to steal from another person or company? That is like saying you can steak a car as long as you do not get caught, it is ok!!! Come on here, we need a better excuse than this one!! |

Let's say I generate a new address and by some miracle it has Bitcoin already in it belonging to somebody else. Is it legal to just take it? I understand those odds are very low, no need to lecture me, I'm just interested.
you have thirty eight pages of reply for this question,here is my input from my part,if you generate a new address and there wont be any miracle to have some bitcoin already in that wallet,the chances are slim and it is an impossible scenario ,if you take somebody's asset without their knowledge it is termed as theft  |

How any type of stealing can be legal?
The case you are describing is not real. If it happened then you are really lucky.

I don't know anything about this but I think regardless of how you were able to hack someone else's account and swipe everything he worked hard for is illegal. If people can just mind their own everything will be fine. Just imagine yourself checking your wallet then eventually find out that however you flip it inside out you'll come up with nothing. That would be devastating.

Stealing someones possession is consider already as stealing and any way of stealing is definitely illegal, on the case of OP seems he dont intend to generate an address with a fund already maybe its not consider stealing since he wont know whos the owner of the address.

How would the person know who stole their BTC ?
Isn't the question hard to answer since:
1. It will never happen
2. It has never happened
3. No court would accept such a case
?

Yes - it is illegal - you are taking digital assets that don't belong to you. Accessing a public website for a purpose other than what it is designed for can even land you in jail. https://www.wired.com/2013/03/att-hacker-gets-3-years/ |

Stealing bitcoins is sort of illegal but the thing is that they cant do anything about it becuase the bitcoin is not yours you know bitcoins are for everyone because everyone can mine them./

Stealing is not illegal.
Is stealing someone's thought illegal? No.
Is stealing someone's heart illegal? No.
Is stealing someone's idea illegal? Not really.
Is stealing someone's parking space illegal? No.
Bitcoin is just like a parking space, thought, idea, heart. Stealing it is not illegal.
Only stealing things like cars which are made out of hard assed material is illegal.

Yup stealing anything will determine as illegal and wrong only. I think there is one drawback bitcoin, you cannot easily find the scammers who steal your btc.However we have anonymous in transaction but this is having this kind disadvantage also. |

You mean there is no law yet? However there is law for thyself. If you can manage to supress your conscience then it is not illegal. But can you take it even if you will be thinking about it everyday and giving you chills when you remember what you have done? |

This is true, even no one see you on the crime you commit but conscience would always haunt you down even in your sleep. lol. Unless if you are a person who always steal and already immune to these kind of conscience thing. Stealing someones possesion is always illegal in any ways. |

Its maybe not illegal but I think its not right to just steal them, someone worked hard for t most likely. I think that you should not do this just because of the principles. |
