I'm sure they didn't it just seems so co-incidental. Couple of years ago I sent synopsis and first 3 chapters to a very well known publisher. Got a nice 'thank you but no thank you' letter back about 4 weeks later. About 12/18 months later I'm walking through the Trafford Centre and there's this best seller in the window - not my title - but my story. Went in and bought the book and, apart from being set in the States it's the same story. I'm sure this happens, but I just found it weird because the writer had THE SAME AGENT I sent my stuff to. They made it into a bloody film too. Oh well, moving along to my next blockbuster idea, I'll choose my agent carefully
