Hi Gary and List, This is a shame and I hope the thief is caught. Everyone please keep an eyeball out for these meteorites, and if they are offered to you, please contact Gary and/or the authorities.
That La Criolla and NWA 788 look familiar. I spent hours hand-polishing those and I hate to think that some cat burglar is now in possession of them. Those Sikhotes individuals are awesome. I really hope these are recovered. Hang in there Gary, you are overdue for something good to happen.
