It's really not that complicated. Stealing is stealing, whether the emotional/financial impact is felt or not. There are no varying degrees for it and it cannot be negated as a vice on the assumption that the owner won't face an emotional or financial impact over it's disappearance.
I could be mistaken, this could be a stretch, but the vibe I'm getting from the responses is that stealing is wrong only if it negatively affects the victim.

Is murder always murder? Are there not varying degrees of it? Self defense murder is different than serial killer murder, is it not?
If so, why is there not the same varying degrees to theft? Moral issues are never black and white.
