The point of BDS is to make it unprofitable for companies to partner with Israel. They don't profit off of stolen goods, so stealing BDS items doesn't go against the boycott.
I'm pretty sure the grocery store in most cases takes the hit on the stolen item and they'd just buy more to replace it as if it were purchased. Of course if enough people steal it, the grocery store might not restock it. Costco is the notable exception; they don't actually own the product in their store AFAIK
yep. seen this occur many times over my career
They do though, losses are already assumed in the price, and unless rate of losses sufficiently change, they'll buy at the same price (so campaign of stealing would deny value, individual act wouldn't)
