I am in the crazy newcomer mode of buying. My wife found a slice in a
small box in the garbage yesterday, because she wanted the box for
Christmas gifts. I had thrown it away.
That was a wake up event.... I live out beyond the crackheads and
such, so I don't have to worry about theft much. My dogs wouldn't
allow it anyway.
I think I will sit down someday and photograph everything so I know
what I have, first of all, and secondly for insurance purposes in case
of fire ..etc.

I still can't get over someone stealing so personal a possession like
that. I never will understand it....and I am 'afraid' I couldn't
control myself in such a case.....

I believe everyone on this list is honorable and do not want to purchase lost, stolen , or illegal to export material. The wonderful thing about meteorites is the provenance. My slices if stolen and cut up can still be identified like a fingerprint. This makes collecting meteorite slices one of the most safe hobbies a person can do. Clear skys! Steve
