This comment is quite obviously absurd. Consuming something no more makes it yours than writing your name on it. And even if ownership somehow transferred, someone else would still have been deprived of their property without their consent.

There most likely has been a crime committed but as has been said above, it is unlikely BTP would become involved given the other considerations already outlined.
