It's cool you didn't know about it. It wasn't a widely known fact (being one of the few exploits that was hush hush, like the salvage hacks). Just because you didn't know about it =/= it didn't exist though. It doesn't matter because it doesn't exist now; I'm just stating for the record it was possible and I don't gain any kind of super reputation for pointing it out/fabricating it.
I spent years spamming provoke on claimed mobs on the off chance the group fighting it would fuck up and let it unclaim. Never once stole a mob like that, unless they did in fact fuck up. You are wrong.
