If you have the source files, or any other way you can prove it, then you need to put them on a disc as proof, and then contact the authorities. What he did sounds like a scumbag thing to do, and if you can make him pay for it, i suggest you do it. All you need is the source files, which you should have, and he should not. Sting this fool, and get your money from him…

wow, what a nightmare. Dude, you gotta do something. sew his \*\*\*!
How exactly did he steal it? did you foolishly upload the whole site for him to see before the payment? I always ask my clients to pay for half once I have half of it done. I then show previews of the site to see if they like it or not. I make sure there is nothing they can steal. Then, I only upload the final version once a snapshot of it has been previewed and completely paid for.
