I once had a guy stealing my entire layout.  After publishing his name, url,
email address and company name to my website (600.000 hits each month)
together with some printscreens and kindly pointing him to it, he somehow
decided to get it all offline.  Good for him.  He got quite some hate-mail
from visitors and so did the company he made the website for.

Always like it when things work out. :)
