| I cannot see this being "bandwidth theft", unless they are hotlinking images from the website (the most common form of bandwidth theft). Simply loading up your pages repeatedly in a browser is not (technically) bandwidth theft - though it costs you money and is VERY annoying!!
Hotlinking of images CAN be prevented in one go - by limiting which websites (your own and certain search engines) can display your images on their site - everybody else will get a 403 error. You'd do that with .htaccess.
