Stealing is an act of crime, so it is very illegal to steal bitcoin no matter how cheap the amount is. As long as you don't own that particular things then suddenly it comes to ur mind to steal it, then you're committed a crime if you continue to do it on what u are thinking.
not just bitcoin stealing everything is illegal,lol how may you ask this question ?
Curiosity always is a burden, and he is just curious in things he doesn't know well in my opinion it is maybe OK to get something if the owner is unknown or the thing you have seen and then get a hands on it doesn't claim by anyone then I think it is OK to take it, but if someone else would claim that it is his or her then I think a proper hearing on things between the one claiming and the one that found the item may take part.
not just bitcoin stealing everything is illegal,lol how may you ask this question ?
Of course stealing bitcoin is illegal, because you stealing another people bitcoin and that people won't you steal it. Everything with stealing is always illegal.
lol yah all know that in the first place stealing bitcoin is illegal doing and it is not tolerated by human being if you have sin then you should punished for the sin you made stealing peoples money is not tolerated it is a sin remember that alwaysJust collect your bitcoin from safe and legit way , never doing criminal thing just for sake of money.
That is the reality that even not in bitcoin stealing is illegal and everywhere if you are going to commit stealing you are doing it against the law. Because the law is not tolerating stealing and it is not a good act instead that is a criminal act so if you are going to steal bitcoin then you are against the law and you are going to have consequences.

Let's say I generate a new address and by some miracle it has Bitcoin already in it belonging to somebody else. Is it legal to just take it? I understand those odds are very low, no need to lecture me, I'm just interested.
The thing which is highly not possible, what is their to comment. Even if happens what you are telling then it is yours because this is not stealing , this is what we call you found it as a miracle.
Its impossible to happen what you said or miracle. you are just wasting your time.

I agree with you. It is not easily to obtain bitcoin in just generating your bitcoin address. It is very verry imposible because it is new address and the address is not the property of others it is on you.

Stealing in general is illegal. Bitcoins? Ofcourse. It's a currency. It's stealing money basically.
Only difference is chances of your getting caught is less with Bitcoin.That is why bitcoin should be used with much care a needs to kept safelyYeah indeed. Ofcourse stealing bitcoin is illegal cause taking anything which isn't yours without permission is illegal. BUT they can't really catch you so easily cause bitcoin is so anonymous so it's the perfect crime but still it's a crime.
It seems a lot of you guys are answering the question from the header directly, you should read op's scenario. I don't think it's stealing because in his scenario he didn't plan to take anyone's Bitcoins. He merely created a new address and found Bitcoins in it, he didn't 'steal' them, he got them because of some glitch. In a case like this I would totally keep the coins for myself
I think it is impossible that there bitcoin is ready for a new bitcoin address created, even you can not send bitcoin to any address ?
so I think it is impossible to obtain bitcoin simply create an address Lol

you have a point , OP just accidentally generated a new bitcoin address which theres already funds in it which is a very rare scenario because as we all know new addresses are unique and cant possibly have identical. In his case it wont be considered as stealing since he dont use force or does have any intentions to steal it from the owner.

Stealing is stealing, no doubt about that.
Why would it be any different if it were fiat that you were stealing?
The value of them are relatively the same with more bitcoin is worth. Undecided

Yes! Even though others are saying bitcoin is still not covered by the law, but we must stick we our morality that stealing is really a bad act. It is a criminal act no matter what and where a person is going to do that. If it is cyber stealing or not and still it remains a criminal act. But if that is just an accident of sending someones bitcoin then that is not a crime at all, you can just return it to the sender.
No it is not illegal and cannot be considered stealing. It is already there.

Ha... C'mon brou, stealing BTC is pretty much the same as steal money or any other goods. This question is extremely weird because if bitcoins cost money it's obviouly a stealing. I'm just responding this thread because many people think like robbers (and when I mean robber it's those sick f*** kids who think that even when money came easy for someone else, it justify the rob). Many people here steal in scam mode, many don't give a f*** for collaterals when make a loan or when cheat a site like btcjams. That's why some countries with people who doesn't care for a bank loan, the interest tax is very high and I know well the bank offer logic, but many cool and honest people are fu*** because they can use credit or get an emergency loan. Like somebody here said Stealing is Stealing, money is money, robber is robber.

stealing is illegal no one will tolerate that, but in OP statement i think it is not stealing he only a lucky guy that generate bitcoin with already have amount of bitcoin storing on that.
Yes I think if that accident is going to happen then that is not going to be considered as stealing because you did not stole it from someone.
Just like the incident in this thread : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/who-sent-me-0015-btc-1621994
