It is really too bad there is no way to protect yourself from this. Like, I understand that our writing is on the internet for the entire world to see, but still, it would be nice if there was some way to protect yourself. I'm sorry it happened to you as well.
Once upon a time I had someone make an anonymous comments in one of my posts, that led me to believe they could potentially be swiping my stuff. My words, I mean. Which was really quite absurd and/or silly, considering I mostly just write about my life--and I'm not exactly sure how one would go about stealing such a thing.
At any rate, I keep my journal mostly locked to friends, and I don't post any poems or short stories I plan on trying to publish. Figure this is the internet, and nothing's sacred. It most certainly does suck in every feasable way, though. And so I'm sorry you find yourself in such a situation.
Yeah, I kinda think it might be time to do a bit of spring cleaning, but at the same time, I don't feel as though I want to censor who reads this, just out of fear of being ripped off. I guess time will tell.

If that guy is in Continental Europe let me know. I will put out my boots and frat stomp him. Well, actually no I won't frat stomp him, but maybe I will bro snap at him. Sound good?
