Time to load up the USAS-12 (or Saiga 12, if you have one) and start blasting some 10 round stick-mags and a drum. Let's see how long they last without any hearing protection.

But, if I don't have my USAS-12 with me, I would simply look straight at him and shout something like "Hey, buddy - don't steal my brass". The "hey buddy" would quickly turn to "HEY...." something else if that didn't get his attention.

Assuming that the guy collecting brass has some kind of authority from whoever maintains the range to collect brass, there is NO WAY the guy has authority to collect brass while the firing line is hot. However, like the OP said, this guy was just some guy scrounging around for brass. That wasn't a lack of etiquette; that was just a dirt-bag looking to see if you were going to do something about him stealing your brass.

PS: The tarp idea is a really good one; I think I'm going to start doing this.
