There's a simple answer to this.
Firstly,and mostly importantly,you can only steal something that belongs to another person or that which another person owns ie:car,watch,money or any type of possesion.....a woman is owned only by herself as we all are.
Okay, maybe I'm just old-fashioned... MAYBE..or maybe i'm a criminologist...... but lets take the crime of, say, sexual assault... this is a property crime - if someone rapes your wife, or daughter, you as the father, or husband feel a personal loss, as if an assualt on your own body, or property has occurred... something like 85% of marriages end 2 years after the wife has been raped... a woman's worth is directly related to the amount of men she has come into sexual contact with, questions such as: did she resist?? to what extent?? could it have been her fault?? will always arise, and hence why women feel like they themselves are on trial when they're actually the victim... women's liberation only occurred recently... they've been considered property far longer than they've been 'persons'... just to make THAT point...
Now to speak to the initial poster - ... "stealing" his girl isn't wrong, because she can't be stolen... but if you slam her... you've comitted a crime against her BF's property... hence why there are 2 actors in what was formerly known as criminal adultery... so he'll want to kick your a$$... BUT I don't see a problem with telling her to break up with her boyfriend... I mean, he will still continue to consider her his property, like some guys after they're broken up with, will turn to stalkerish obsessive behaviour - but she will no longer take his ownership into consideration - and neither will anyone else... so he'll still want to kick your A$$, but you've gone about it the morally sound way...
final answer - its okay to lour her away - but do you really want to be with some chick that is jumping ship everytime she sees something better come along?? do you really want some chick that would cheat on her boyfriend....?? the answer is, no, you shouldn't... but if you're taking it light heartedly, and you tell her your intentions are not to involve her in a relationship, just to slam her, and she does break up with her BF before you do it.. then you're golden.. thats my take on it!!!
