My first thought was that it would fall under geneivah.
My second thought was that "lo signov" in the 10 diberos is the hasra'ah
for kidnapping, as the diberos only include dinei nefashos. AND, the 10
diberos are considered avos that include all 613 mitzvos. (R Saadia Gaon,
in his Azharos, goes through the exercise, but hebrewbooks.org's copy
of Qoveitz Maasei Yedei Geonim appears to be broken.) So maybe simple
theft falls under kidnapping!
My third thought was that "lo signov" in the 10 diberos is the hasra'ah
for kidnapping someone into the slave trade, as a person is only killed for
kidnapping if they then sell their victim.
Which leaves me either back at ground zero or at my "first thought".
Tir'u baTov!
