Actually this term was defined when my friend left his hamburger on the table and left the room while we were watching a show on Poaching. I then took it, bit it, and said hah poached. From then on it expanded.
If you had a great meal you were poaching. If you stole a seat,girl,meal, whatever, you poached it.If you planned on going to relax then you were going to poach. The term quickly spread through my friends who then moved out of NY spreading it even faster. This was over 11 yrs ago.

Friend: how did you guys meet?
She: I saw him walking down the street and found him interesting so I followed him. Then I poached him!

Doing something you shouldn't do i.e. stealing--- comes from a snowboarding term to go somewhere roped off that you aren't supposed to go into.
