If you own something, and someone takes it from you, its called theft. If its not theft when they take it from you, then you didn’t own it.

That would mean all taxes are theft, all forfeitures, all repossessions, and all seizures. It’s a simplistic understanding of the concept that reduces ownership to whoever currently possess property.
You’re welcome to have that perspective, but it doesn’t map well onto any modern legal framework for ownership.
