[meteorite-list] GPS Device located on my car!

[Mark Grossman]

Just a quick question.

Why is contacting the IMCA your first move, when it sounds like the police 
should be notified?

Why bring this to the attention of the entire list, and furthermore expose 
yourself to to possible accusations of libel by accusing someone in this 
manner, especially if it happens to turn out that it was someone else who 
placed the device there?

I am not taking any sides here.  I purchased my first meteorite from Mike 
Farmer, and it was a very nice specimen.  I have had no interaction with any 
of the other parties involved.

But I think things are really starting to get out of hand.

This really does not belong on the list - it is a police matter, and if it 
turns out it is not someone who you think it is, advertising the situation 
is just going to make it more difficult to find the culprit.

Just my two cents - back to lurking.
