It never left the store.
Says him.

But leaving that aside, once you steal something you can't "unsteal" it.
Quote Quoting People v. Randolph, 466 Mich. 532, 551, 648 N.W.2d 164 (2002).
We emphasize that a larceny is complete when the taking occurs. The offense does not continue. This fact is illustrated in People v. Bradovich, in which two defendants in a store concealed two suits under their own clothing and attempted to leave. Realizing that store personnel were following them and that they would be apprehended, they abandoned the stolen clothing and departed. When later charged with larceny, they claimed to have abandoned the property before leaving the store, and therefore, not to have completed the offense. This Court disagreed, holding that the larceny was complete when the thieves concealed the store's clothing under their own.
