Well they installed heir own (= deleted your old code). In my case my old code is still on that site I sold. So not exactly the same situation
Plus - why would you get any adverse affect if the new owner was not doing anything shady? The fact that you did not get any affect in this one instance is not enought to claim that it never happens.

Hmm, I think deleting you account is different story. I am merely talking about deleting a site ("property") from the account (while leaving the code still on the site).
