How to "steal" an abandoned, locked domain registered at networksolutions?

For the last nine years I've been running a site which I kind of "inherited" from someone else.
I control the DNS, but the previous owner never transferred the actual domain registration.
Now I need to get the registration in my name and I'm been having trouble finding the owner.
I think I probably found his phone number and email address a couple days ago after spending
several days looking, but no one is responding to my several phone messages and emails.
He lost interest in the site nine years ago, and either the numbers I found are old or he's now
lost interest to the point where it's not worth five minutes to him to transfer ownership so the
site doesn't go down.

I checked for some of the most common security vulnerabillities at NetSol, such as possibly
using the "lost password" form, but I don't see any way to transfer it. Does anyone know any tricks?
