The definition of theft can vary slightly between jurisdictions - "taking possession" is an element, but it doesn't technically matter for how long - you can be charged with theft if you take possession of anything valuable with the intent to exclude the owner's interest, even if its momentary and they regain possession. People report incidents to law enforcement, and law enforcement/prosecutor's office files charges when applicable. If a person has any financial loss due to an attempted theft, they can certainly file a civil suit for damages.
