Its theft, simple as that. Petty theft.
I was at a a public range a while back & had a similar issue. When I firmly, but politely asked him to stop taking my brass he called the (non-resident) ranger to complain. In his, the brass picker's, viewpoint after it left my ejection port it was "thrown away" & so became "scrap, public property".

I wasn't quite as polite as you were.
