Translated reports reported to the List state that these meteorites were
stolen. I am just making sure since the original finder of the cement
factory pieces is offering specimens for somewhat less. It is always good to
double check these things as you know from Park Forest. I hope you got
permission in writing is all I have to say. My days of chasing falls in
over unless they fall somewhat nearby. When are the initial lab results do
out?
