Overview

This custom condition is based on the OnSteal condition shown in the RT Essentials book, page 87. An additional piece of logic has been put in place to eliminate a bogus stolen ticket notification when one user gives a ticket to another user.

First, setup the template

Name:  Stolen Ticket Notification
Description: Template for stolen ticket notification
Content:

To: {my $user = new RT::User($RT::SystemUser);
$user->Load($Transaction->OldValue); $user->Name || $Transaction->OldValue}
Subject: [{$rtname } #{ $Ticket->Id() }] Stolen: { $Ticket->Subject() }

A ticket you owned:
  { $Ticket->Subject() }

has been taken by { $Ticket->OwnerObj->Name() }.

{ $RT::WebURL }Ticket/Display.html?id={ $Ticket->id }

Second, setup the Scrip

Description: On Stolen Ticket notify old owner
Condition:  User Defined
Action: Notify Other Recipients
Template: Global Template: Stolen Ticket Notification
Stage: Transaction Create
Custom Condition:

return 0 unless $self->TransactionObj->Field eq 'Owner';
return 0 if $self->TransactionObj->OldValue == $self->TransactionObj->Creator;
return 1 if $self->TransactionObj->OldValue != RT::Nobody()->id();
return 0;

Nothing really groundbreaking here. Just eliminating some unnecessary e-mail in my inbox. 2007-06-19: Eliminated a bug in the sample template. Added details for quick implementation by others. 2007-08-23 (Andreas): Most people will want to use "$user->EmailAddress()" (without the quotes) instead of $user->Name in above template.
