A good friend of mine, and an avid meteorite collector
just had her entire collection of meteorites stolen out of her car. She
and her husband (military) are moving and she had the whole collection boxed
and in her car so she could hand carry it on their flight. I just
talked to her briefly from the police station so I don't have exact details, but
she has a wide range of specimens of about 70 different types I would
guess. 99% are of the type that would fit in a 3x4 Riker Mount. They
include Martian, Lunar, rare stones, irons, pallasites....just about
everything. She also has about 20 Egyptian artifacts that were stolen at
the same time.
Please, all of you, keep your eyes and ears open and let
me know if you are contacted by a suspicious person looking to sell a collection
or get one appraised, or anything at all you find suspicious. The
collection is worth many thousands of dollars I'm sure.
If there are any major dealers out there who are not on
this list that anyone can pass this post on to, I would appreciate it. I'm
not quite current on who is on the list.
She is just heartbroken, and sick over this. I
really feel for her. I know if I lost my whole collection I would just
feel devastated.
You can contact me via this list, my private email which
is [EMAIL PROTECTED] or if you prefer, by
phone.
(907) 258-3373. If I am not available at that number
you can talk to Jerri or Adam or Brittan.
Thanks to you all, and hopeful to hear from someone
soon!
