After getting some strange contact on my forms, I looked at who has been visiting my site and came across this URL. Anyone know what this is?

Well, it appears to scrape your site and let you download the files. I wouldn't be surprised what else you get in the download. :)

I have web templates on my site, do you think someone was trying to steal them?

You can block them with htaccess, there are lots of ways to do it. htaccess is an art form.
You can put the htaccess in a directory or at the root
