Now you get my Point! :) If people start looking into this profile will discover a lot of picture from themselves.  >:(

Without being able to find the source images, I find it suspicious that the balloon thief's portfolio has composite images where the image parts are not in the portfolio too. For example, there's a series of diet images that have a cupcake, hotdog, doughnut and pizza slice in them. None of those food images are in that portfolio.

I found the cupcake, and at least the frosting is taken from one of Ruth Black's images. The thing is, he is taking just small parts of the images, changes the shapes and removes small details so the searching tools (tineye, yandex, google.images) wont work/detect them.

That image is on Shutterstock too - I've written to Ruth Black to see if she can get Shutterstock to take those down (there's a whole bunch with that frosting)

Jo Ann Snover:
Glad to see that Ruth Black has apparently managed to get SS to take down all the "diet" images with bits from her cupcake images taken down.

Not so happy to see that this portfolio is still up and running. What are the odds that the balloons and cupcakes are the only stolen items in such a huge portfolio?
