How to find out vbulletin style?

If you see a template/style that you like how do you find out what it is?

I saw a style today and it looked really nice. I am guessing its a custom job as I have never seen it before.

The site is LandThieves
 
I look at the page source code with my browser. For this one I found:
HTML:
<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin 4.1.3" />

If that's not there on others you check, look further down to find what CSS file it is loading, this is also version specific, something like this:
HTML:
clientscript/vbulletin_md5.js?v=413


EDIT: On the above I just realized you weren't asking to identify version...

Ok, for identifying styles I do the same thing - I read the page source code and look for clues. Filenames of image folders is one giveaway. The WebPageTest site is helpful for this too, since it tells you in detail, every call made by the scripts.

For this one it looks to me like it is a custom paid style, named after the site itself because the image folder name appears on all the static image calls from the /images folder.
HTML:
http://cdn.landthieves.com/board/images/landthieves/lt22title2.png

The name of the style is "landthieves."
