Theft comes with a different meaning in this quote. Baba actually says,

Now, no matter what the mullah teaches, there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. Do you understand that?"

Amir feels nothing but shame and self-loathing over Hassan's rape. How does Amir tell Babba, a man who once wrestled a bear, that he let Hassan's innocence be stolen by Assef?
