There are many mutually agreed transactions that are considered illegal. For example, drug-dealing, weapon-dealing, gambling, prostitution. These deeds themselves are not illegal. They are illegal if done too many times, systematically and clandestinely or out of the hands of public authority. They become illegal only when they are against public welfare. Theft is more serious crime in that it is done without mutual agreement.
