WOW , you seem to be off the deep end. There are
robbers, thieves, and criminals all around the world.
You act like it exists in the meteorite world only.
Give me a break.
If you are so worried about your stupid "crater" why
in the heck are you posting about it here? You sound
like a crazy old coot that has a gold bar buried in
his backyard and sit in a chair with a shotgun waiting
for the hoards of people coming to rob you.
Nuff said, it was just over the top and quite
offensive actually.
