I believe we are quite fortunate by the way this forum is structured. To view a large image any prospective thief must first register and enter details which are of course, recorded. There are two ways to protect your photos when sharing. Reduce the image size as most publications require 300dpi or close so an image shared on the Internet at 900px can only printed 3 inches wide. The second is to place a copyright marker or 'watermark' in a prominent place so if stolen it cannot be used. However watermarking can detract from the image but it is an effective way to protect your property. A happy-medium of compromise must be satisfied to allow people can enjoy your work as intended with protecting the photo from theft.
