> Aloha all,

> On March 6, I alerted the meteorite community about a theft that occurred 
> of my meteorites from my office at the UH Institute for Astronomy in Hilo 
> Hawaii 
> (http://www.mail-archive.com/meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com/msg104614.html).
>
> Through cloaked email accounts, I was contacted by a person claiming to 
> have purchased my meteorites from an intermediary and was looking to 
> return them to their owner, of course for a "reward".  Something didn't 
> feel right and I ultimately refused to deal with him.
>
> Local law enforcement and the FBI have been contacted about this case.
>
> The suspect will most likely be looking to sell these meteorites.  He 
> mentioned dumping them off to his brother in Mexico, but he could be 
> trying to sell them anywhere.  Please keep an eye out for these specimens.
