If they wanted to steal the oil, wouldn't they just take it?

If you break in to a store, and buy all their inventory, is that stealing?
They're buying it at a price they like.. ofcourse they wouldn't steal it.. that would be criminal.. but taking it at a price they arrange behind closed doors isnt.
