I have just been informed that several meteorites have been stolen during a
burglary last night at the Sonnenborg observatory in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
Among the stolen meteorites is a very rare one: one of the few pieces existing
of the Ellemeet diogenite. It concerns the Serooskerken mass. A picture can be
seen here:

Please keep an eye open for it.

Hi all,
I now have gotten some additional info from the Sonneborgh bureau:
Sonnenborgh did not have a weight available, but the stolen Serooskerken ( =
Ellemeet) diogenite piece (pictured in the link above) is about 7 cm (2.8) in
diameter.
The rest of the stolen inventory is not that special, but includes:
- a Bilitonite tektite
- four pieces of Holbrook
- a piece of Dalgaranga
- a piece of Wellman
- a thin section of Arispe
- a pseudo-meteorite (Mellissant)
- a small tube with ash of the Vesuvius volcano
The meteorites were, along with some other valuables and papers, in a safe which
was lifted in its entirety, so the meteorites were likely not the main target of
the heist.
The stolen Ellemeet fragment is one of only two larger pieces in existence.
