How does someone "steal" a website? It is yours, you have it created, you work it then it is someone else's just like that?

They are also called fake websites if that is what you are thinking of. It looks exactly like the real web site but if you look at the address something isn't right. It is a sort of fishing. it isn't like Hijacking a thread. NOW GIVE ME THE MOUSE DAMN IT!!!!

it's not a fake website. it's a site i've been creating articles for on a regular basis. the owner just emailed me and said to hold off because someone stole his site.

Is this where that term "You don't know jacked" comes from ... ?

It was probably hacked, at least that is what it sounds like. "Stolen" isn't the right term, "temporarily out of control" is better.
