I'm not clear on this one point.  If somebody got a hold of my private key and moved funds from an address that I claimed on the ledger, is that against the law?  At what point could that be considered a crime?  For example, if they hacked into my machine and stolen the private key; if they sniped the pk while snooping on a public access connection; brute forced the pk into existence; or just plane snapped a shot of my qr code over my shoulder....ect  In which of those examples could I pursue prosecution for the theft of my coin?  
Yes, of course, this is very illegal. Because the hacker has stolen what it does not belong to. But that's the work of the hacker, just stealing and making everyone uneasy for fear of losing his money. But if this happens in my country, I can guarantee no one can help. The government will not be responsible for this incident.
