Good try, no cigar. One can also steal something that is collectively owned. Try and take something that belongs to a national park sometime. Theft does not require personal property.

Sproul Jr. swings, he misses...

"The heart is the main thing in true religion...It is the hinge and turning-point in the condition of man's soul. If the heart is alive to God and quickened by the Spirit, the man is a living Christian. If the heart is dead and has not the Spirit, the man is dead before God." (J.C. Ryle)
