One may not take another's possessions without his permission, even if one plans on paying him later.
This applies to possessions belonging to adults or kids, Jews and non-Jews.
Even taking another's possessions as a joke or prank is forbidden.
One who transgresses has a Mitzva of returning double the amount they stole (Shmos 22:8) unless it was an ox or a sheep for which one has to pay back 5 or 4 times the amount stolen.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always.
Pasuk: "Do not steal" (Vayikra 19:11)
