If it is for sale it is no fun in taking one out the back door. I am not sure about other people but if I was to swipe a mug I would make it up in the tip for the server. I know that does not help the owners but at least it may keep the server from hunting me down on my way out. As for what to do if you catch someone taking the mug. Ask them aside and offer to sell it to them. If you just say hey you stole a mug and I want it back you may lose a good customer cause they are just too embarrassed to come back.
