A stamp which declares that art theft is a crime!
I made one because I didn't care much for the others.

I also made it after seeing my friends work stolen and posted on other sites without any link or reference to the source.

Just to be clear, if you used someone else's work for something (like printing a deviation out and keeping it), and didn't obtain their permission first but did not claim to own it or attempt to make any money off it, nor post it online or anything, is it still considered art theft?

BTW, I've never done that before - I'm merely curious.

I think most artists are ok if the art is just kept for personal use like printing out the image and just keeping it for yourself to look at, or downloading the image just to keep it for yourself to look at.
I think the problem comes when people take other people's images and post them online or try to sell the images online/offline.
