I had a registrar forfeit a domain to me due to the fact that the current owner was inaccessible.

Long story short, the domain reflected a business name that was identical to mine (but in a different field). The current owner went out of business and their office was closed. Their phones were also disconnected.

It took a couple weeks, but the domain was forfeited over over to me prior to the formal expiration date. The registrar had an internal process for insuring the current owner was out of reach. After they concluded their internal investigation, they allowed me to purchase it directly. It cost me like 200 bucks, all in all. It was one of the best grabs of my life.
