If it was for your MV.com, that's understandable.....so many thieves
out there, it's crazy. 2 and 3-letter .com domains are prized. One has
to make sure all domains are LOCKED.

That's something that maybe they should address in the Transfers
committees that some of the Tucows/OpenSRS staff are involved with at
ICANN/GNSO. I think right now, the only info that is passed to the
registrars is the gaining registrar, and nothing else. A system that
would help identify more thieves would scare most of them away --- let
them go back to selling crack or other illicit behaviour, instead of
stealing domains.

Sincerely,
