Hello Matthias, Jason and List, This is my very short version of a much longer but rather amusing story. If you want to read the whole thing, and I strongly encourage you to do so, just go there:

And yes he did manage to talk himself out of jail and into the authorization to cut a large chunk of the meteorite he was trying to steal! Meteorite-hunters will stop at nothing!!! ;-) Anne M.

And if so why they sent him home with a 107 kg piece and not to jail?
