Is it really possible to "steal" electricity from high voltage lines via induction?

I've heard anecdotes about people doing this. I know it's possible. But  I wonder if it could be done in any practicable way.

depends on what you mean by practicable, if you want a reliable and safe source of power you'll need a lot of expensive equipment, if you just wrap a coil around the line you'll receive low power high voltage wich is very hard to work with and electrocuting yourself in the process of assembling your construction is likely at 380kV (european high voltage line)
