I want to inform the list about 3 stolen meteorite
from the Al Lang Auction in Tucson.
Achim Karl was the high bidder on 3 meteorites which
were stolen from the display cases just after the
auction. They are:
Bjurbole, Lot #6 14.89 grams with old museum labels.
Gorlovka, Lot # 19 2.79 grams with old museum labels.
and Luotolax, Lot # 34. 3.2 grams.

These are rare items which the photos can be seen on
Al Langs website
www.nyrockman.com/tucson-auction-2007.htm


Anyone seeing these pieces for sale or who has any
inoformation can contact myself or Achim Karl (the
rightful owner) at achimkarl at aol.com

Many other meteorites were also stolen in Tucson,
Mohammed again lost around 50-60 kilos of complete
stones, and Karl Sprich from South Africa lost many
kilos of Gibeon slices and a large Campo del Cielo
with a natural hole.
