January 13, 2006

Samples of lunar rocks were stolen from a car in Virginia Beach Tuesday,
and police need your help in locating them.

Police say around 3:24 p.m., they responded to a call in the 300 block
of Garcia Drive. When they arrived, the victim told them a projector,
and a silver briefcase containing a sample of rare lunar rocks had been
stolen from his car.

The lunar rocks are entrusted to contracted instructors by NASA for
educational purposes. They are sealed within two clear plastic disks,
as you see pictured on the right.

The disks are labeled in the center with the words "meteorite samples"
and "lunar samples." The samples pose no risk to the public.

Anyone with information regarding this crime is encouraged to call
Virginia Beach Crime Solvers at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
