    Sure! Seriously.

    To clarify, I think it's a bad idea to pay someone else to
    steal something, but it *is* the other person who stole it,
    and who owes it back. People are responsible for their own
    actions. They are not responsible for anyone else's, except
    by contract.

    IMHO, of course; not as a practical matter in the world in
    which we live.
