> 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.

> 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.
