[meteorite-list] Rocks from Space Picture of the Day - January14, 2008

[Impactika at aol.com]

Hello Matthias, Jason and List,
 
This is my very short version of a much longer but rather amusing story. If  
you want to read the whole thing, and I strongly encourage you to do so, just 
go  there:

And yes, Henry Ward did try to steal it!  And yes he did manage to  talk 
himself out of jail and into the authorization to cut a large chunk of the  
meteorite he was trying to steal!
 
Meteorite-hunters will stop at nothing!!!      ;-)

Hello List and Matthias,

I also thought that was a unique  sentence, and I wonder if by "caught" it 
meant that he was trying to steal  the specimen.  And if so why they sent him 
home with a 107 kg piece and  not to jail?

Take Care,
Jason
