True. I guess I didn't focus on the fact that the OP was complaining about the existence of some behaviour rather than engaging with the person.
I do think it is worth engaging with someone who proudly describes - in public - what they are doing as stealing. Even if it isn't illegal (yet), they are conceptualising it in ways that should give them reason to reflect on their behaviour.
