The person did this on a resale program.

Yes someone can steal your Domain.
Why you say should I bother. Because My Domain is used by my business.

Unless it was copyrighted, you don't have the well-publicized option used by large corporations with copyrighted or trademarked names, to litigate for the exclusive right to advertise with that name. When you let the original registration lapse, you lost the right to that domain. You could also pay the current registrant what they're asking for your domain name, but I can't think of any valid claim you have to it otherwise.

Sometimes domains are taken through fraud. I've seen a couple interesting stories on this.

If your registrar didn't offer you the opportunity to keep your domain, they suck. If you simply missed the boat, the only thing you can do is buy it back.

People buy up lapsed Domain Named because they can make money off them either by continuing on with the business name and attempting to trade on the good name of the previous owner or by selling them back to the original owner.

However neither of these practices qualifies as Stealing a Domain Name as the original owner was unwilling to renew the subscription and retain the Domain Name.
