[meteorite-list] Oman prison saga

[Carl 's]

Hi Mike and Robert,
 
Glad you guys are safely back and thank you for letting us know the story in Oman. Something is a bit puzzling. I had read another post not to long ago here that mentioned there was $250,000 to get you back into Oman(?). Not sure if that was a bounty or some kind of reward. The one who made that post did not accept that deal but that is a large sum and seemed with that kind of money for you, you were allowed to leave so relatively easily. I would think that once they got you, they would lock you up and throw away the key. Sorry if I don't have my facts straight or if it opens any wounds.
 
I also thought that it was a stroke of genius of you to say the camera, Ipod, gps,..etc. was not for mining. I would have stammered and gave up hope.:)  As much as those meteorites you lost were valuable, it's nothing compared to your health. I also found it strange if the Omani police thought those meteorites were such a national treasure they would just treat them like so much garbage.
