It depends on the lie and the theft. If I stole a loaf of bread that would have been thrown away minutes later anyway to give to my starving child is that worse than if I tell the KKK chasing a runaway slave that he/she isn't in my basement when, in fact, they are? Of course not. There are "good" lies and "bad" ones.
