Dear Listees:

I am sorry to report that the window of my truck was smashed this
evening (evidently with a sledgehammer or similar), in Tucson, and a
bag containing three Campos was stolen along with various personal
items. I think there is a good chance the thieves will attempt to sell
these Campos at the gem show, so I'd like to ask all of you to please
be on the lookout for them. They will be very easy to ID, as all three
have natural holes, all have been cleaned and have the typical
blackish color of treated Campos, and are of widely varying weights. I
don't have exact weights, unfortunately, but here is a brief
description:

1) Small individual, less than 100 grams, resembles a human face with
a hole in the middle

2) Very distinctive triangular or knife blade-shaped iron with flat
faces (no thumbprints) maybe about 800 grams, with a natural hole near
the edge that makes it look very much like an alligator or dinosaur
head. Stands up naturally with the hole near the top long edge.

3) Roundish individual, approx 1.5 kilos with smallish natural hole

If you are approached by individuals trying to sell these three irons,
please take appropriate action. I would suggest stating you'd like to
buy them and ask if you can hold onto the pieces for a couple of hours
to get them evaluated. Then call 911 and report stolen merchandise.

I can be reached at 520 742 3333 and info at aerolite.org

I am offering a substantial reward for any information leading to the
arrest of the thieves.

Thanks for reading, and for all of you currently in Tucson, enjoy the
show and PLEASE be extra vigilant with your property. Theft is on the
rise at the show and seems to get worse every year. I've heard of a
lot of showroom thefts, but this is the first gem show-related vehicle
break-in that I am aware of.

Thanks for reading.


Sincerely,

Geoff N.
