The [generally] accepted meaning is: when someone takes something or an idea that is yours and uses it as their own, often in a demeaning way The history behind the saying goes way back to 1704 London when John Drury, a literary critic and part-time play write produced his play, "Appius & Virginia" and used a new method of replicating the [sound of thunder]. The play was unsuccessfully and was closed down. A short time latter, Macbeth was produced and his new thunder method was used. Drury was none to happy about this and in an 1893 [publication] called, "W.S. Walsh's Curiosities", Drury is quoted as having said, "Damn them! They will not let my play run but they steal my thunder!"
