That's fantastic news, Carl! Congratulations!
I had hoped it would resurface eventually, but that is amazing.
Kudos to all who helped.

Subject: [meteorite-list] The IOM "Sikhote Alin" is back in our possession
Incredibly, today we took possession of our Sikhote Alin specimen that
was stolen out of the the Institute of Meteoritics museum over the
holiday break. Tomorrow it will be flying home with one of our staff
as carry-on, and a UNM police escort will be waiting at the
Albuquerque Sunport to bring it back to the main campus. This speedy
recovery could not have happened without the generous help of some
amazing people in the meteorite community. I will give a full account
of this whole story soon, and praise those who were instrumental in
the recovery, but there is still an ongoing police investigation, so
the details will probably have to wait until next week.
Happy New Year!
