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

[Matthias Bärmann]

"To steal" might be too hard. Let's say he wanted to move the meteorite 
away. Well, and if something seems to go wrong you always can try to arrange 
a large eating and drinking party. Not easy to stop the run of a meteorite 
hunter with his capture - for him it means "bringing the baby home" ;-)

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
