Without damage to the card or to the case? Because it seems pretty silly to steal a graded card and not remove it from its case and send for rating sgain to get a new number.
Cracking and sending it in again is possible, although I think the vast majority of thieves want a quick payday and would not be willing to invest money and wait the months or years (backlog) for grading.
There’s people who like to buy graded cards and “liberate them from their prisons” to be played. The whole collectors’ grading system is insane. See also: the massive fraud in video game grading by Wata and Heritage Auctions.
