Depends on the situation and the scorekeeper. Scorer can award a stolen base if they choose, but can also withhold calling it a stolen base. Normally this will happen if a team is already leading by a very large number of runs, so one advanced runner has no effect on the game's eventual winning team. This would be called defensive indifference.
