You are trying to argue semantics and failing dismally. A corporation is not a living entity and therefore robbery of the corporation is a civil crime. Does that explain it in simple enough terms for you now?
This really isn't that difficult of a concept, and your arrogance is misplaced. Corporations are OWNED by citizens, either privately or by shareholders in a public company. They are the victims of this crime. Value was robbed from the corporation, and thus from the owners of the corporation. No one is arguing that a corporation is a living entity. You're somehow trying to argue that if someone breaks into a warehouse owned by a corporation and steals widgets, it's only a civil action since corporations aren't living entities. That's just silly. Theft is theft, and someone owns what was stolen.
