It is a very simple attack vector.  One that I've used successfully in
a pen-test.

One simple method which would make its use even harder would be to
encode the clients IP address in the token.  Then you can perform some
simple algorithm on your server to check if your remote client's IP
matches that which is encoded in your token.

If not, you know you it's stolen.
