About 7 years ago I stumbled upon a page in the web site of Walter

It happened to Bernhard Rems from Austria. Well meanwhile he seems to have
been stolen in person too, as I wait since one and a half year for a payment
from him for a meteorite, sigh.

Sorry to hear that
I was at Denver on 9/11, and had to ship 5 boxes with stones (up to 20kg
each) back to Argentina.
I was afraid that they will be lost, but fortunately all arrived safe,
even more, they were some of the faster shipments I had. They took about
3 weeks for a surface

I did not order many meteorites from e.g. the United States lately, but
