1.226

Second, the precept against stealing. What is meant by stealing? Knowing it to be another's property, generating a mind of theft, taking the property away from its original location, and having the property belong to oneself—this is named stealing. If one does not do this, it is named the precept against stealing. The rest—such as calculating and contriving, or even grasping it with the hand before it has left the ground—are preliminary expedients of stealing, not the primary offense.
