What a couple of weeks... had a mac go down & lost a weeks worth

I believe the correct term is 'hijacked'. Basically another agency, who
im sure are usually reputable, copied the design, coding & even
deconstructed the flash used on www.thekingsheadbirmingham.com
They hadn't even changed the meta data & hadn't even changed the
telephone number!!
Heres an image of the Kings head Site.

and heres the offending site

Notice any similarities? The other agency had even used
some of the food images from The Kings Head!!
We've never had this happen before and to be honest didn't
know what to do?! Our client contacted the owners of the
other domain who changed the site. I guess plagerism is
a form of flattery but what they did was just plain lazy
and this kind of behaviour will do themselves no favours
in reputation. Anyone had this happen to them? and what
course of action did you take?
