Last week I finally snapped on a guy for backplotting off my machine without asking

Been running CNC for about 8 years now, mostly at a shop in Cleveland. Last Thursday I walk over to my Okuma and this new kid is standing there with his phone taking video of the screen while it's doing a finish pass on a $4000 stainless part. I asked him what he was doing and he said "just grabbing the program real quick." I told him to back off and go ask the lead for permission first, because that's how people crash machines. He didn't even know what a tool offset was when I asked him about it. Has anyone else dealt with people trying to steal your code without even saying hey first?

Yeah but did you check if he actually sent that video anywhere after you walked off?

Four hours later I checked his phone log @ivan873 and nothing was sent out.
