Really? Because the legal def of "steal"
the wrongful or willful taking of money or property belonging to someone else with intent to deprive the owner of its use or benefit either temporarily or permanently

Sounds like he deprived WHSmith of the benefit of profit on the transaction.

Tell you what, give it a go and see if your defence stands up in court.

Handing over 2p for a shitload of mags is not the actions of an honest individual.
