Yes, please have the user who's "account" was taken send this into Special:Contact/account-issue immediately. Be sure and have the user (who's account was taken) give links to the "user who took it" as well as any threads where this exchange happened. If it's been deleted, you can still link the thread(s) and Staff can view them.

I would make sure and title the subject "Account stolen" or something of the sorts.

A global block won't be needed unless the account is being used maliciously across wikis. Which we will monitor. Until then, we can hope that the deal gets settled soon. If they send in a Special:Contact today, they'll get a response by tomorrow.
