Infinitive or gerund?

Hello, Why is the word 'steal' written in the following sentence instead of the gerund 'stealing'?
"...because she suspects that the mayor's wife saw her steal the book..."

Thanks in advance, Jonathan

Both forms are possible. In this particular sentence, there is very little difference in meaning.
