"To steal" might be too hard. Let's say he wanted to move the meteorite away. Well, and if something seems to go wrong you always can try to arrange a large eating and drinking party. Not easy to stop the run of a meteorite hunter with his capture - for him it means "bringing the baby home" ;-)

Hello List and Matthias,

I also thought that was a unique sentence, and I wonder if by "caught" it
meant that he was trying to steal the specimen.  And if so why they sent him
home with a 107 kg piece and not to jail?

Take Care,
Jason

"In 1906, Henry Ward tried to leave the town with the whole mass, but was
caught, and did manage to obtain a 107 kg end-piece."

Don't know why but I love this sentence ;-)
