Firstly, the Command of God clearly states that we are to love our neighbors (all others) as we love ourselves. It also commands us not to steal anything. Additionally, if something drives someone to take something necessary for themselves or family/friends to live, we are to not only allow this but to offer more:

Luke 6:28-30

New International Version (NIV)

28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. 30 Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back.

This does not condone stealing for the sake of profit or whim. For these actions, Civil statutes and ordinances have been established to correct this wrong or sinful action. In no circumstance are we to take the law into our own hands and punish or even kill someone for the error of their ways. A quick reading of history will show the reader how Wars have begun over such errant behavior and innocent peoples have been marred and killed from such over-reactions. Such a tragedy of humankind.
