Most registrars have a service which will allow you to automatically renew a
domain name registration, thus avoiding forgetting and allowing something like
hijacking take place.

there are already services that will monitor domain names and daily hits and
grab them when they expire.  Many cyber squatters sign up for those and just
wait - then grab domain names which have value (high hit rates) and then resell
them at a premium.

It is too bad it happened, but it is a cottage industry you are guarding
against.

  I understand the distress but a simple renewal would have avoided such a
  situation.  Its less them stealing your business then you (whoever)
  leaving the business running with the keys in the ignition and with a
  signed title in the passengers seat.
