Your cousin Bob gave you a sealed letter to hold for him and the court says you have to hand it over? You must.
And calling it "theft" is an attempt to prejudice the discussion. Theft is taking without due process of law. By definition, taking at the command of a court is with due process of law.

By the same token I could come and repossess your car after obtaining a judgement against you in a foreign court if it was in my parking lot, right?
