Me and other urbexer friends have had our work stolen regularly. There's even been folks passing other's pictures off as their own. Copyright is serious stuff folks.

It's the same principle when your tangible work is stolen. Like my drawing portfolio, pottery, beads (handmade) etc. Which is why I don't want to work in a publicly accessible studio anymore.
Funny story.
I was sitting at my booth at a craft show, a young woman comes up to me..."omg, you're the lady that makes the beautiful Goddesses... I take them with me everywhere!!! let me show you..." she runs off and returns with her purse/tote with several of my stolen items... "The BIG ones are at home, I love them, my boyfriend bought them for me!!!"
I smiled and replied, "Really? How sweet of him." And lo and behold she brought him over later to show him off. Now I know where all my porcelain is also. He was a fellow student in my classes. Needless to say, he could not look me in the eye.
