I can see the argument that to say "You stole that money" might be equated to "You wrongly stole that money," but only because the use of the verb "stole" contains in its definition the "wrongness" of the action.

"You stole" means You took something that we humans who made language have designated as wrong, witness that we have different word for

took

stole

found

borrowed

etc.
