How Would you Steal Someone Else's Satellite from Orbit?

You are overthinking it. Just invade/kidnap the ground station, or steal the codes.

The NSA's primary job is believed (especially by those who have looked into ELINT/cryptography) to be "stealing the codes".  Everything else is likely cover for that.

If you have the codes, you don't need the physical ground station.  Jamming it (and only long enough to turn the antenna) would be enough (I'd assume anyone capable of stealing the codes has their own groundstations).

Launch a huge ball of sticky slime, make it swallow the prey and deorbit.

That'd be one of the densest launch ever

There is no reason to return a satellite to Earth.

The value of a 10 year old satellite on Earth is 0.

The value of the same satellite in space is quite high.

It would probably be best to hack into the satellite from Earth.

- grab a computer
- grab a network
- hack

it's like lotery somehow, weird

You'd steal it like this (well... Jeb would).

It was equipped with twin Aist.

Always bring an Aist for your (space) heist. Preferably two.
