and now your saying even if it didn't take away as single penny it would still be stealing.

Imagine there is a parking lot in downtown Chicago... the parking there costs $10/hr, there are 10 floors there, and 1000s of spaces, it's never full, in fact it's never even half full...
you park there and few hours later drive out without paying, did you "steal" anything in that case? Do you find anything wrong with not paying for this parking? After all, by using your logic you:
a. didn't "steal" anything, right?
b. didn't take anyone's profit, right?
c. didn't harm the owner in anyway? one could even argue that you even helped him? you parking there for free made the parking lot appear more busy, and so it appeared safer to park there, generating more business for the parking owner?
