It may simply breach of contract, because there is consensus ad idem as far as the transfer of goods is concerned. Then, where is the question of theft?

There must be mens reas for criminal Axct and omissions. Offer and acceptance and no payment is prima facie a civil nature. If there is dishonest intention only a criminal offence is attracted.
