It's a blog, it's already public, what is there to steal?

Monetizable traffic. People mirror sites wholesale, throw monetization on it and apply blackhat techniques to ensure they outrank origin site.

I doubt anyone will do that on a personal blog.

Oh, they absolutely do. It's all automated bots. What people don't understand however is that you can report it to Google and/or file a DMCA on it yourself. That's all part and parcel to having any kind of public output.

Or you just ignore it because unless you're (probably fruitlessly) trying to monetize it you'll just drive yourself crazy.
