Two words that come to mind is "nick" (heard in Downton Abbey, said by Thomas who steaks a bottle of wine and is witnessed by Mr. Bates) and "pilfer". They both mean to steal something (of small or little value) while at work or shopping; it's not a planned theft. If it's something valuable or even a great fortune, we usually say "robbery" or a "heist".
