I've just received a couple of emails inquiring about the Meteoritical
Society's vice department as implied by the email "[email protected]
"
There is no such department. While wondering who to contact at the
Society I happened to notice the vice-president of the Society is
Japanese and that's her email. ;-)

Subject: [meteorite-list] METEORITES STOLEN IN JAPAN
For Japanese and Japanese-speaking List Members in particular:
It pains me to write the following, but I do so at the request of
dear friends Akiko Umai and Gene Oshima who run TIMA---the Tokyo
International Mineral Association---and the "Tokyo Show" of early
summer.
Shoichi Saito is a Japanese meteorite dealer who had a little nook
in the TIMA offices at the Century Hyatt from which he transacted
business the last few years---primarily consignment pieces. As the
generous spirit he is, Gene subsidized Saito, whose business fell
into decline. I am now advised Saito and the entire inventory of
meteorites---including many specimens from Gene's personal
collection---have disappeared.
I was just asked to contact the Meteoritical Society as my friends
were hopeful that Saito's membership in the Society might prompt
some type of intervention. More realistically, I am awaiting the
names of the missing meteorites.
