Government returns meteorite to family

Associated Press

     BANGKOK, Thailand - In a ceremony befitting its heaven-set stature, the 
goverment returned a meteorite revered as a good luck icon to the family who 
found it.
     The 37-pound gray stone was handed over Thursday by Deputy Gov. Yothim 
Prompriam in a ceremony in Phetchabun.
     The family loaded it into their pickup truck and took it to a bank 
safe-deposit box.
     Neighbors prayed at the site the meteorite struck for good fortune.
     Four days later, the authorities seized the meteorite saying that what 
falls from the sky belongs to the state.

Haven't researched this yet.  Anyone know what meteorite this is?
