Sure, there may be an application for this with theft, but all the more reason to publicize this hack then. People need to be educated on the shortcomings of any technology or else they'll be led along blindly by the promoters of that technology. Knowledge of a hack like this will spur innovation and encourage RFID tag manufacturers to create new, better RFID tags (which is good for technology, bad for consumers!).
