Yard ornaments might be easy to steal, I mean, heck, people just leave them in their front yard over night. But it's still theft, it's still illegal, and even though the people made it easy there should still be a penalty for the theft.
Not saying I agree with said theft, but when making deals with known questionable actors, it's a bit of a given.
