You're confusing crime with bad karma. You didn't get caught stealing so there are no immediate consequence to your action. But you still committed an ill deed.

Good news is that the karma mechanic is almost completely irrelevant in New Vegas. Nothing but a relic from Fallout 3. The values are bugged and the score doesn't matter in any but a few, isolated cases. Ignore karma and focus on your reputations instead.

the only things karma affects:

level 50 perk
ending dialog (there are three, one for evil, good and neutral)

most NPC reactions use faction reputation instead.

It affects a few companions too, right? Cass will leave/refuse to join an evil PC if I remember correctly.
