Hello everyone.
My name is Chadwick Horn and I am the one that my good friend ((sarcasm)) "investigator" is calling a thief. Chris, cjmacd, called my attention to this matter and I am now taking the time to bring to rest this "claim to investigative fame" once and for all.
Prior to delving into the lack of mind I am trying to understand with "investigator," allow me to call to attention the lack of both maturity and the understanding of basic English grammar. The only excuse for this 'cause for concern' that I can fathom is that he/she/it/shit (she, he, AND it) is/are around the prepubescent age of 12 and only takes into consideration the facts which are given to them on a silver platter WITH an appended definition and/or reason. I'm sorry to tell you this "investigator," but life, much like your arguments and comment sent via email (read below - from an "anonymous" yahoo account no less) aren't organized like that.
I have been a victim of both purchasing hijacked domains and having domains hijacked from me. Regarding either case, it's not fun as the process to get them back usually takes an entire registration period (speedy Network Solutions no less) to have claim to what was rightfully yours (or mine) from the beginning. If you are indeed the previous owner of one (or all) of my domains and you can show me proof that you are, without a doubt, the rightful owner, I will release them back to you with no further questions asked. I have very close contacts at the majority of the registrars and we know each other by a first name basis. Getting information about the hijackers will be no problem.
"Investigator," when you have been in the domain industry as long as I have, you learn the tricks of the trade. You also gain hundreds of connections which, in turn, strengthens your backing power when it comes to cases such as this. I let people think I am new to the domain industry so I am able to see who is BSing me and who is honest. Chris has been beyond honest. He did not have to risk his good name on my behalf nor did I ask him to, but he did do to the fact that I am honest and when I take claim to something I say, I can prove it. I have an internal strength in the domain industry you seem to lack and it's sad that you'll never get it either. Although I have personally lost no feelings for you (somewhat had when you're in the negative from the beginning), I can't speak for the rest of the participants on here.
One last thought I wanted to leave you with "investigator," is that if you want to flame a board or someone's business and/or personal email (of which all three occurred to me), it's one thing. When you claim to have called the authorities (although they've probably enjoyed the laugh caused from it - if in fact you did call them) you are involving the US federal government which, as with most other entities in the "real world," I have connections with. I am a US Navy veteran. My primary job in the Navy was working with computers in the field of intelligence. Covering your footprints by using an anonymous email service such as yahoo is useless, when the one you're hiding them from made the shoe it's wearing.
Anyhow, for everyone getting a laugh from this post, below is the IP and headers/email/information I received from our "friend" last night. Seems he's a little upset he doesn't have the domains I do.
NOTE: If you're an Alexa user, it can take up for 3+ months for an update to occur. I purchased XXXHOST.COM in May and it was just updated with my information last month; after submitting my contact changes the day my DNS resolved.

I already called the police. Retarded!

Do you Yahoo!?

QUESTION: Is he calling the police retarded?
BTW - I traced him to a Japanese ISP. ((Sighs)) No wonder he didn't call the contacts himself - he would get into trouble by his parents...
