Because yuri needs a wand and he hasn't got 2 farts to rub together...he is not above trying to steal one.
It's a side-note really but I always imagined that while Ollivanders is the legit wand shop there are other places, possibly in Knockturn Alley, where you can get either wands from a less reputable wandmaker (they don't work so well, they don't last as long, etc.) or there's an under-the-counter understanding with places like Borgin and Burkes where they sell stolen or otherwise acquired wands.
