Didn't the Israeli Air Force manage to "steal" a whole squadron of Mirages (?) that they had bought but had been embargoed in France? I know they pinched plans for the Mirage III that became the Kfir, and Mossad rather improbably stole a bunch of gunboats from Brest/Cherbourg and took them home...
No doubt more French collusion against an embargo than straight theft.
