It is not cheating and you can't steal them. Herd helpers are not secret. While we may change that in the future at this time all herd helper links should be considered public and available to anyone.

@jezmynespice1 They're referring to the case where they did not share to the forum, but rather privately shared it with one person, and someone else managed to get it (which has been proven to be possible by people editing the numbers of the herd helper links to try and luck out, but in one case I believe the person wasn't sure how they'd gotten it - possibly a number typo in a different one they were grabbing?). As Ammit says, not cheating or wrong, but some people feel shorted when they intend to share with a friend and instead a stranger grabs it.
