Nice deal.
As far as the term 'stole it'. I plead guilty!
I have used the expression, and will continue to use it. It is a compliment, and meant as an expression of "I really hate you, because you got it (the deal) and I didn't."
How about those TV ads where the woman runs away from the furniture store, 'cause she thinks that the store made a mistake with the price? Is she stealing the stuff? no, she paid what the seller asked, and felt that she got "a steal".
So, to sum up: Nice Steal!
Congrats.
[PS A real steal is if he put it in his pocket and didn't pay the asking price.]
