| Escrow.com has nothing to do with any of this; they just make sure that the transfer happens smoothly, which it did. It isn't their responsibility to investigate every domain to try and determine if it was stolen or not.
This type of situation is very frustrating because the original owner wasn't careful with his passwords, and now Rob has to suffer for it. The only way I see you getting back your money is if you go after the hijacker in court, but he's probably in another country and it would be difficult to get satisfaction.
I guess if you could prove that Network Solutions was notified that the domain was stolen before you bought it, but didn't take action to lock it in a timely manner, then you might be able to hold them responsible.
Sorry to hear of your troubles Rob, I hope it all ends well for you.
