[meteorite-list] Stolen Canyon Diablo Meteorite To Be Returned

[Mark Langenfeld]

Unless he was the original thief (or a collaborator), he probably wouldn't 
be exposed to theft charges anyway.  Possession of or trafficking in stolen 
property, maybe.  Not sure how either Arizona or Wisconsin law would deal 
with that, but I wouldn't say it's risk free.
