Is it BDS if you steal? (lemmygrad.ml)

If someone shoplifts something on the BDS list, does that still qualify as boycotting the brand? Is this a stupid question?

I can’t say for certain, but I imagine this would, when accounting for scale, just cause the store to replenish its inventory as if the stock had been bought.

Edit: I guess if enough were being stolen they might stop selling it, but I think realistically the effect is just you are depleting their supply along with people buying it.
