Since the appearance of the first supermarket, shoplifting has become a kind of national pastime, a dream for kleptomaniacs and a stress reliever for clerks in many countries around the world.

Having rummaged around on the Internet, it is not difficult to find a lot of advice from “experienced” and not so fans of thefts in supermarkets. They will tell you what it costs, how to take it, where to hide it and how to take it out. However, it is not a fact that what they say will be true. Firstly, people tend to lie, and on the Internet this desire increases tenfold. Secondly, representatives of the security services of shopping centers also know how to read and use the Internet, and accordingly, take new security measures.

Of all the Nikolaev supermarkets, METRO was chosen as the “victim”. Firstly, for good system security Without presenting the buyer’s “passport” with full name, telephone number, address and other data, you will not be able to enter the shopping center. That is, you immediately put yourself under the hood of the local security service. Video cameras on the ceiling, “flashing lights” at the entrance that detect anything unpaid in your pockets, and security guards on duty at the entrance, patrolling the hall and glaring at potential intruders. The uniform chosen for the experiment was standard - the “ordinary gopnik” style - a black puffer jacket, a black cap, ten out of ten of them in the crowd.

So, task number one. What to take? Either something small or soft in a small size. In general, something that you can hide on yourself. For example, a jacket or sweater, in the cold season - they can be worn under your outerwear.

Problem number two. How to hide? Cameras on the ceiling, guards and other personnel. A safe place is the locker room (there are no cameras there). Two or three sweaters in your hands, like trying on, you put on a jacket under your clothes, as long as it doesn’t stick out. An annoying misunderstanding - a plastic piece of junk attached to the product with a metal rivet. It's not easy to break with your hands. So any serious kleptomaniac must have wire cutters with him.

Problem number three. How to get out? In any case, the way out is through the cash register. You can buy something and smile at the saleswoman, or you can make a face like a brick: “You don’t have anything suitable.” It won't make much difference. Because further your path lies through the “flashing light”.

According to the Met’s “SBshnikov” themselves, every third buyer is trying to steal something. In order not to turn into a “horror flying on the wings of the night”, where every third person is grabbed and dragged into dungeons, METRO prefers to allow citizens to steal every little thing not exceeding 100 or 200 hryvnia. If you hide a spoon, socks or a notebook in your pocket, they may not notice it, and the “flashing light” on them won’t ring, unless, of course, you bothered to remove the plastic piece. But things worth about a thousand are equipped with several degrees of protection. For example, clothing is equipped not only with a plastic rivet, but also with an additional label with the inscription “Remove before use!”, to which the “flashing light” also reacts.

Problem number four. What to do if you get caught? You can, of course, run. And even run away. They may not even chase you, limiting themselves to shouting “Stop the thief!” As the SB officers themselves say, they know the old trick, when one attacker distracts the guards in pursuit of himself, and the other, who is carrying the real loot, calmly follows.

And there is no point in escaping. If you left the receipt in the cart, you will be tracked down in a minute. If you haven't left it - after 10 minutes. Thanks to the “METRO” “passport” system, it is enough to view the recording of the voyage by shopping center and record the time when the buyer’s card was marked. Then it’s a matter of technique, unless, of course, the card itself is stolen.

Let's say you ran away. In no more than forty minutes a call will follow, fortunately everyone has a mobile phone, and you will be politely invited to a conversation. If you don’t want less pleasant people in uniform to come for you, go, they won’t eat you.

And it’s even better and calmer not to run anywhere, but to figure it out immediately on the spot. The security service of any supermarket is not a law enforcement agency, and from the point of view of the law, its employees are citizens just like you, so they cannot beat you, insult you, or take your things as collateral. They themselves know this very well, so further the entire conflict will occur in verbal form.

There are two people “pressing” - the head of the security service and the head of security. One persuades, the other threatens. One shames me, the other promises to take me away in handcuffs and take me straight to Kolyma. They shame in a variety of ways, they work with sparkle, with invention. It is clear that a person who has shown himself to be an “unscrupulous customer” will have his meter cards blocked forever, but the SB officers present this as a tragedy on a universal scale - you not only quarreled with the supermarket, but in fact the whole family was deprived of food, and there is no other supermarket in the city where you are more they will never let you in.

An educational conversation is essentially the worst thing that threatens you if you are ready to return the stolen property quickly and in good condition. Of course, if this is not your first attempt, then you can’t vouch for anything.

Supermarket management, as a rule, is not interested in stirring up a scandal. Considering the number of people who want to profit, they would have to practice law instead of trading. However, theft is theft, and in any case this matter remains illegal and, accordingly, criminally punishable.

Target: teach children to see the difference between their own and someone else’s; bring them to the understanding that they cannot appropriate someone else’s property.

Tasks:

Educational: to form children's understanding of biopolar concepts: honesty - lies.

Developmental : development of creative abilities of students; development of communication skills for working in a group.

Educational: teach how to use the rules of honesty in everyday life.

Practical: teach children to see and analyze their own behavior and the behavior of other people.

Form of organization of student activities:

Individual, group, frontal.

Progress of the lesson:

Introductory conversation with children “Is taking other people’s things good or bad?” for questions:

(At the beginning of the conversation, one of the guys recites the following poem):

What is it, what happened

What kind of “magic” is this?

Things, money disappear, -

Maybe this is theft?

What does it mean to steal?

What kind of person is called a thief?

Why do people steal?

Should stealing be punished?

Is it possible to take a toy (or other item) from a store and go home without paying?

Is it possible to take someone else's toy if you like it? Why do you think so?

If a child brings home someone else's thing (toy, book, candy), can he be called a thief?

(The teacher summarizes the answers and leads the children to the idea:

You can’t take other people’s things without permission, it’s bad.)

Reading the story by L.N. Tolstoy's "Bone"

The mother bought plums and wanted to give them to the children after lunch. They were on the plate. Vanya never ate plums and kept sniffing them. And he really liked them. I really wanted to eat them. He kept walking past the plums. When there was no one in the upper room, he could not resist, grabbed one plum and ate it. Before dinner, the mother counted the plums and saw that one was missing. She told her father.

At dinner, the father says: “What, children, didn’t anyone eat one plum?” Everyone said: "No." Vanya turned red as a lobster and also said: “No, I didn’t eat.”

Then the father said: “Whatever one of you has eaten is not good; That's not the problem. The trouble is that plums have seeds, and if someone doesn’t know how to eat them and swallows a seed, he will die within a day. I'm afraid of this."

Vanya turned pale and said: “No, I threw the bone out the window.”

And everyone laughed, and Vanya began to cry.

Questions for analysis:

What did Vanya do when no one was in the upper room?

Did the boy admit that he ate the plum when his father asked him about it?

Why didn't he admit to what he had done?

Why did the boy turn pale and cry?

Do you think the boy's parents would have scolded him if he told the truth?

Did Vanya do a good thing by lying to his parents?

III. Reading and analysis of proverbs

The teacher invites the children to think about why people say this:

Stealing won't get you far.

Once you take it, you become a thief forever.

The thief has short legs.

IV. Practical task: “Who took the money?”

One day, a boy found money in a thick book on a bookshelf. He thought that the adults had forgotten them here and would not remember them. The boy decided to go to the store and buy whatever he wanted. He felt completely grown up and enjoyed shopping. The boy gave some of the toys to the children in the yard, and brought others home. In the evening, the mother remembered the money and asked her son: “You didn’t take the money?” The boy remained silent.

Task: Replay the situation. Assess what is happening. Prove why this cannot be done.

Play out the situation the way you should behave in this case.

V. Stories “The actions of children”

The guys are invited to come up with continuations of the stories.

Story 1.

IN Two friends studied in first grade - Dima and Sasha. Sasha really liked Dima’s watch. One day during a physical education lesson, when Dima was changing clothes, Sasha quietly took the watch for himself. In the evening, Sasha’s mother was ironing her son’s shirt and was surprised to find it in his pocket. watch. She immediately showed the watch to her husband, and together they began to find out from their son where he got it from. The boy first said that Dima gave him the watch. Then Sasha’s parents called Dima’s parents....

Questions for consideration:

Why didn't Sasha tell the truth to his parents?

What should he have done better?

3. Did you like the boy’s action?

4. Is it possible to take something you like without the owner’s permission?

Story 2.

On At school breakfast, students were given curd cheeses; they could take them home if they wished. Most of the guys took the cheeses with them. Seryozha loved curd cheese and ate it right away. When the boy entered the class, he saw that Angela and Olya put their cheesecakes on the desk and left the class. Seryozha took them and hid them in his briefcase. When the break ended and the children returned to class, the cheesecakes were discovered missing. The teacher asked the children to confess what they had done and apologize to the girls. Seryozha remained silent, but did not know that one of the students saw it

Questions for consideration:

Why didn’t Seryozha tell the truth to the teacher?

Can Seryozha be called a thief?

What should you have done in this situation?

Z's story

U Vitya had a large collection of chips, which he had been collecting for a long time and was very proud of. The teacher suggested that he bring the collection to kindergarten and show it to all the children. Imagine her surprise when several guys in the group began to show marks on the chips and claim that they belonged to them. Vitya denied everything...

Questions for consideration:

Should Vitya be punished?

Can a boy be called a thief?

What advice do you have for Vita?

What should a teacher do?

VI. What should you do to avoid theft?

Children offer their own answers to the question posed, the teacher summarizes what has been said and introduces them to the rules.

You cannot take other people's things without permission.

If you like any thing (toy, book, etc.), you must ask permission from the owner to look at it or play with it.

If you took it without permission, honestly admit it and ask for forgiveness.

The teacher explains that you need to follow the rules, then no one will consider you a thief.

VII. Summing up the lesson

Children answer the following questions from the teacher:

- What did we talk about in class today?

- What do you remember? Why can't you steal?

- What should you do if you accidentally took someone else’s?

The teacher summarizes the children's answers.

Researchers have somehow calculated that shoplifting occurs every 5 seconds around the world. Moreover, with the advent of the supermarket format and self-service retail outlets, this has become much easier. Even despite video cameras, magnetic frames and other means of protection, stores still continue to record shortages.

What is theft?

Shoplifting is common. However, in order to hold a person accountable, you need to understand the legal terminology. So, according to the Criminal Code, the following actions can be recognized as theft:

• theft by a person of someone else's property in full confidence that he is acting secretly and not noticed by other persons;
• theft of someone else's property in the presence of other persons who are not aware of this fact;
• during the seizure of someone else's property, the actions of the attacker were detected, but this fact did not stop him (this can also be qualified as robbery);
• the theft is committed in the presence of other persons who understand the essence of the attacker’s actions, but the latter is confident in their consent.

Common Schemes

Large or petty shoplifting is the most common type of crime not only in domestic practice, but throughout the world. In order to effectively combat this phenomenon, you need to understand what exactly to combat. It is worth highlighting the four most common schemes:

• Damage to goods. Typically, this form of shoplifting occurs. For example, buyers often eat bulk goods, they may open a pack of juice, a bag of chips, and so on. Such actions not only cause material damage to the store, but also harm its reputation. No one will be pleased to buy something in a supermarket whose shelves are filled with torn or empty packaging.
• Theft of goods (that is, taking them outside the store). In this case, we can distinguish between unprofessional thieves, as well as experienced “masters of their craft.” The first ones usually hide their “prey” in their pockets or under their clothes. The latter, in addition to the indicated method, can actively use magnetic signal suppressors and secret pockets. They can also involve children in this.
• Preliminary agreement with the cashier. The bottom line is that the store employee deliberately does not check out all the goods at the checkout. This is the simplest option. Fraud with bank cards or returned goods may also occur. Theft in collusion with a cashier causes significant damage to the store.
• Substitution of goods. This means that a more expensive product can be transferred into packaging from a cheaper one. Label re-taping may also occur. If there is a self-service system, an attacker can stick the price tag of a cheap one on an expensive product. But the cashier does not always notice this, especially during hard work.
• Open robbery. Is this a direct take-out of goods or Money from a trading establishment by threatening the life and health of workers. As a rule, the attacker threatens with a weapon. For such an act the most serious punishment is provided, including imprisonment.

Shoplifting: Punishment

Shoplifting is such a common occurrence that many people don't even think about it. possible consequences, taking this step. However, shoplifting is a serious crime. The punishment for it may be as follows:

• The minimum penalty provided for by the Criminal Code is a fine of 80,000 rubles. At the same time, only theft of property worth more than 1,000 rubles (at cost) is subject to criminal prosecution. Otherwise, the offense is considered administrative.
• The attacker must reimburse the store for the purchase price of the stolen goods five times the amount, but not less than 1,000 rubles.
• If the attacker was caught leaving the store and did not have time to dispose of the stolen item (that is, it was seized safely), the punishment (fine or imprisonment) cannot exceed three quarters of the norm established by law.
• Imprisonment in the case of major theft, the fact of which has been proven, as well as in the case of established conspiracy with third parties.

Although shoplifting is common, it rarely ends up in court proceedings. As a rule, security and store management agree that the attacker will return the stolen goods or reimburse their cost if they were damaged. They treat pensioners and minors especially leniently.

Theft of minors: punishment

Minors are often caught stealing from shops and supermarkets. The following penalties may apply to them:

• Re-education. Children over 11 years old can be placed in correctional institutions to this end.
• Fine. Since children do not have their own sources of income, this responsibility is shifted to their parents or guardians.
• Correctional work. Children 14-15 years old cannot be involved for more than 2 hours a day, and 15-16 years old - up to 3 hours a day. In this case, work is carried out in free time from studies.
• Deprivation of liberty. Possibly from the age of 16.

How to identify a thief?

Frequent theft in self-service stores is mainly due to the fact that security guards cannot always recognize the thief. The average buyer has an established pattern of behavior. But an attacker may experience the following deviations:

• from the first minutes of being in the store, a person behaves nervously and constantly looks around;
• wanders chaotically around the hall, returning to the same shelves several times;
• Having picked up the goods, the attacker begins to get nervous and look around;
• before hiding the goods, the thief tries to approach other buyers so that the attention of the guards is directed not only to him;
• Having noticed intrusive surveillance, the attacker will most likely abandon his idea and return the goods to their place.

Some more statistics. Out of 10 intruders, only one is caught leaving the store. This is one reason to be extra vigilant. It is advisable to strengthen security in the cold season, when people wear bulky warm clothes in which it is easy to hide stolen goods. Also, the number of observers in the hall should be increased during peak hours after 17:00.

How to deal with shoplifting

The goal of the fight against theft is not to catch the attacker by the hand, but to scare him away from the store. The following protection systems can be used for this:

• Modern video surveillance system. The most effective are dome cameras. But given that this is an expensive pleasure, real equipment can alternate with dummies.
• Anti-theft systems, the most effective of which is acoustomagnetic. It pays off in clothing and cosmetics stores. In grocery retail outlets Radio frequency installations are more often used.
• Effective security. In addition to employees in special uniforms, there should also be “mystery shoppers” in the hall, who should monitor suspicious individuals from the inside without arousing suspicion.

Tricks of shop owners

The charge for shoplifting is quite serious. But if the attacker stole less than 1,000 rubles (and this is the purchase price), he will most likely get off with administrative punishment. And most thieves will not be caught at all. To protect their goods and money, store owners use some tricks:

• the barcode is hidden on the inside of the label so that an attacker cannot erase it;
• training staff on the psychology of an attacker’s behavior so that employees can identify it in advance;
• combating internal theft by establishing fines for shortages and bonuses for catching the attacker.

Theft is an extremely unpleasant phenomenon that causes considerable damage to owners trading enterprises. To minimize the likelihood of a shortage occurring after a visit by attackers, you need to follow these recommendations:

• Employees should greet the buyer politely, offering him assistance in choosing a product. Thus, a person gets the feeling that he is under close attention.
• The store space should be organized so that there is a point from which the entire room is clearly visible. If this is not possible, special mirrors must be installed.
• Particular attention should be paid to customers who wear baggy clothes or carry large bags.
• It is necessary to ensure a clear order of arrangement of goods. This will make it easier for you to notice the shortage and follow up with a suspicious buyer in time.
• Expensive goods should not be located near the exit. The same goes for small things that are easy to hide.
• It is possible that the attention of the seller or security guard may be diverted by the attacker's accomplice. Therefore, there must be a sufficient number of staff in the hall.
• Price tags must be firmly attached to clothing and the packaging must be well sealed. This is necessary in order to eliminate the possibility of substitution.

If you are accused of theft

Sometimes people are faced with such an unpleasant situation when they are accused of shoplifting with impunity. In this case, it is important to know your rights. Thus, you are not required to show the contents of your bags to a security guard or any other store employee. Search is a police power. The maximum that store employees can do is to keep you in the store until representatives arrive. law enforcement. And then, they will only have this right if they have appropriate video evidence. If the police do not prove your guilt in stealing the goods (the search does not yield results), it is likely that the store administration will be forced to pay a fine for a false call.

Evidence of theft

What to do if you are "caught"? Shoplifting must have concrete evidence. So, to bring charges, the security service must provide the following evidence:

• video recording of the moment when the goods were taken and hidden;
• video recording of following a hidden object through the hall;
• the fact that there was no payment for the goods at the checkout.

If your guilt is not proven...

If the buyer was unfairly accused of theft, which was recorded by law enforcement officials, he has every right to file a lawsuit to recover compensation for moral damages from the store. If you were late for a business meeting or were fined at work because you were detained by store employees, you have the right to compensation for lost profits.

Stealing as a hobby

For some people, shoplifting has become something of a hobby or even a sport. This phenomenon was called “Shoplifting” and came to our country from America. Moreover, people do this business not out of poverty or need, but mainly out of sporting interest. There are even online communities of shoplifters, in which participants share experiences, tricks, and photographs of their “booty.”

The philosophy of shoplifters is simple. If stores make money from customers, then why can't it be the other way around? Moreover, shoplifters have calculated that their activities can reduce an entrepreneur’s profit by no more than 1-3%. The fact is that experienced thieves are never greedy. The main rule is not to take out goods worth more than 1000 rubles. This is in case you get caught. After all, theft over 1000 rubles is considered major.

But the majority of people we encounter are newcomers or shoplifters, blinded by previous successes. Real “professionals” develop their own tactics and even take advantage of the achievements of modern espionage technology. These could be jammers or receivers that can intercept the frequency of security radios, bags with a reflective coating against magnetic frames, and much more.

Conclusion

Many people don’t even know what punishment for shoplifting is provided for by law, because in most cases the thefts are never solved, and if security guards catch the perpetrators, then everything is limited to the return of goods or money. To reduce losses from theft, owners of commercial enterprises continue to try to improve their security systems.

In the early 90s, many apartments in Novosibirsk, where I lived then, began to be rented without tiles. Or rather, not completely without tiles - its fragments were scattered in a thick layer on the floors of bathrooms and toilets. The reason was that the developers of that time were still Soviet offices - in essence and in spirit, they did not close the entrances of houses under construction, and new apartments generally stood without locks (they were empty, why steal there). At night, “stalkers” came and knocked off the already laid tiles. Usually, out of ten broken tiles, it was possible to get one whole one. That is, the miners of the already laid tiles caused damage ten times more than what they managed to steal. The opposite of such tile miners is a roguish foreman who simply takes a fifth of the boxes of tiles and writes them off, for example, for a fight or some other shrinkage.

In the 2000s, the main theft schemes in Russia worked on the principle of a thieving foreman. Gunvor snatched something from a third of all oil exported by Russia, roads were built according to inflated estimates, medical equipment purchased at triple prices, etc. However, such schemes were easily detected by activists. It was enough to compare the price of a tomograph here and at the point of departure, the cost of a tunnel built by Russian Railways with the most expensive analogues abroad, and everything became obvious. Maybe that's why in last years Increasingly, more intricate theft schemes have become widespread, when the government artificially creates a market for some (usually unique) supplier, and the costs for the rest of the economy can be many times higher than the potential amount of rent received from such schemes. For example, Plato, from which the Rotenbergs are going to earn 10 billion rubles a year, costs the economy tens, if not hundreds of billions of rubles annually. What do these costs consist of? The cost of the devices themselves, which are imposed on drivers, are essentially “dead” costs - they do not represent value in themselves. Additional fees and administrative burden (Plato needs to be installed and go through other formalities) will force a certain number of truckers to leave this business (will lead to a loss of their income). In addition, the greatest burden in percentage terms will fall on cheap goods, since, for example, in flour the share transport services higher than a cell phone. The additional inflation caused by Plato will primarily affect the poorest segments of the population, which means they will have to compensate for this difference from the budget in order to maintain loyalty.

Another law is about transferring the storage of personal data to Russia. In order for several owners of data centers to earn money (and, accordingly, to roll back to those who need it), additional costs were imposed on the economy in amounts that were orders of magnitude greater than the profits of these data centers. Firstly, many international players may have decided to refrain from entering the Russian market or decided to leave. This leads to a decrease in competition, and as a consequence, a decrease in quality and rising prices for Russian consumers. Secondly, in the modern world, large companies data can be stored in different countries. If some players decide to follow the requirements of this law and transfer part of the data, then they are under the constant threat that they may be accused of violating the law - after all, it is unclear which part of the data can be stored outside the country and which cannot. By the way, Russian companies are at the same risk - many of them also actively use foreign data centers. This law increases the overall risks of investing in IT companies and, accordingly, reduces the development potential of high-tech industries.

Finally, Yarovaya’s law is from the same series as the law on data centers. The number of hard drives required to store all the data according to Yarovaya’s law would probably be enough to calculate the distance from the Earth to the Moon. The potential profits of data center builders and equipment suppliers are orders of magnitude less than the costs that providers and, accordingly, all Internet users would have to bear.

The fundamental difference between the first and second theft schemes is that the scale of damage under the first schemes is limited from above by the size of the allocated budget. For example, if 50 billion dollars were allocated for the Olympics, it is impossible to steal more than 50 billion. The damage under the second schemes is not limited in any way and can significantly exceed the expected benefit of the potential interest. For example, to allow friends to make $100 million from data centers, officials may impose an additional cost on the economy of 500 million, one billion, or 10 billion. Moreover, it seems that no one in the government is calculating the damage from such schemes, that is, they themselves often do not know the true cost of their actions.

I'm not an idealist. I understand perfectly well that our entire power vertical is based on theft and corruption. However, all sorts of systemic liberals like Shuvalov, Dvorkovich, Kudrin and Gref must explain that it is better to let Rotenberg make money on the construction of a bridge to Crimea than on Plato. It is better to allocate one hundred billion from the budget for the development of Rusnano and Skolkovo than to force market participants to pay for the construction of many useless data centers. Need to go back to simple circuits thefts that cause minimal harm to the economy. If the spread of “advanced” theft schemes is not stopped, then this will be more destructive for economic stability than sanctions, counter-sanctions, Crimea and the fall in oil prices combined.

Is the property of disbelievers halal?

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, peace and blessings of Allah be upon our prophet Muhammad, members of his family and all his companions!

IN Lately Among young Muslims, an opinion has emerged that the property of any infidel is permissible, no matter how it was appropriated: through deception, theft, or taken by force.

This statement is a delusion that contradicts the Sharia of Allah Almighty, which belongs to the Kharijites! This is spread mainly by idlers and bandits who are too lazy to work and earn their living in a permitted way in order to justify their actions, or by ignorant Muslims who are misled by those whom they consider knowledgeable.

Those who make such claims are in a very dangerous position, since they allow what is prohibited by Allah, which is disbelief, and also attribute treachery and meanness to Islam.

You should know that in the Sharia of Allah Almighty, the property of infidels is permissible only in two cases:

1. In jihad, during the battle with the infidels.

2. When the land of the infidels is conquered, when all their property comes into the possession of the Muslims.

That's all. As for other cases, the property of infidels is not permissible, since if an infidel is not fighting against Muslims, then an attempt on his life and property is injustice!

Is it possible to steal from infidels?

Let us begin with the permission of Allah with the issue of theft from infidels:

The Sharia of the Almighty prohibits theft, and it is one of the great sins. Allah Almighty said: “Cut off the hands of the thief and the thief as retribution for what they have done. This is the punishment from Allah, for Allah is Mighty, Wise” (al-Maida 5: 38).

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “May Allah curse the thief who steals an egg, for which his hand is cut off, and who steals a rope, for which his hand is cut off!” al-Bukhari 6783.

These are general texts of the Koran and Sunnah that prohibit theft, and it does not matter who it was stolen from - a Muslim or an infidel. As for the one who claims that theft is prohibited only in relation to Muslims, he is obliged to give an exclusionary argument! Imam Malik said: “They do not cut off the hand of someone who has stolen wine or a pig. If he stole from an infidel who lives in Muslim land and pays the jizia (dhimmiyah) or from an infidel with whom an agreement (mu'ahad) is concluded, then he should cut off his hand and return their property to them.” See “al-Mudawana” 3/116.

Moreover, on this issue there is a unanimous opinion (ijma’) that for theft, even from an infidel, the hand of a Muslim should be cut off. Imam Ibn Qudamah said: “A Muslim’s hand is cut off for stealing the property of a Muslim or an infidel dhimmiyya. Likewise, the hand of an infidel is cut off for stealing from them. Al-Shafi’i and the Hanafis said this, and we do not know of any contradiction in this.” See al-Mughni 12/351.

Can something for which one's hand is cut off be permitted in Islam?!

Imam al-Qurtubi said: “A Muslim’s hand is cut off for stealing from a dhimmi, and this indicates that the property of a dhimmi is equal to the property of a Muslim, and the same applies to his life!” See “Tafsir al-Qurtubi” 2/248.

Thus, it becomes clear that the prohibition concerns the act itself, like theft, and not the person from whom it was stolen. This is the same as the prohibition on adultery, because it is prohibited in general and it does not matter with whom the adultery is committed - with infidels or Muslims!
