Oh yeah. The irreversability of transactions and lack of central control is in there by design, and makes things *very* tricky from a mass market point of view. If someone gets control of your wallet and transfers things elsewhere then your only recourse is legal. Which might be tricky if you don't know who or where they are, and the legal frameworks you're both operating under aren't the same!
