If by "pull the level itself down" you mean "download the level", you download the level the first time you step into it, and it's hypothetically possible to extract all details of the level (possibly including NPC scripts) from the .code files in your weblevels folder.

These files are encrypted, and you'd have to go out of your way to open these levels. Sure it is possible, but VERY unlikely.

ALT+5 would be a simple way for one person to steal a level from another server. Sure there are custom tilesets, but usually these are just variations of the default tileset, and the structure for most levels would not change, unless you modified the tileset to the extent that the tiles are completely different (and if you were willing to go that far, you're probably running a quality server). Custom tilesets aren't much of a deterent for a theif.

So to sum this up, ALT+5 is a bad idea.
