The employee or the employer? I'm going to say "no" for the employer and "yes" for the employee. The key word here is "stole". Stealing happens to be a criminal act whether you also have a job or not and it is illegal regardless of whether stealing from an employer or some random stranger. Aside from the relatively illegality of said theft, I must opine that stealing from one's employer tends to also dampen one's vocational career. I recommend against it.
