Well, if we're arguing definitions, technically it could be said that the user who triggered the bug 'accidentally stole' the wallets at one point. Even if no-one has them after everything transpired. And something lost doesn't necessarily mean you don't know where it is. If I kick a ball in to a lake by accident I could say: "I lost the ball in the lake." Though I can clearly see it it in the lake, in this case 'lost' means no longer possessed. I get your point though, it could have a clearer title. Interestingly, they've now removed "stolen" from the title on the original page.
