Is it BDS if you steal? (lemmygrad.ml)

If someone shoplifts something on the BDS list, does that still qualify as boycotting the brand? Is this a stupid question?

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
