Bruno and Carine,
Massive regrets, and fortunately we meteorite lovers have more wisdom than
the crooks know. As many of us were in your room, I will be vigilant.
Somehow I didn't receive your original post to the List. Has anyone else?

Dear list Members,
it is with consternation that we annouce you that we have been
victims of extortion at the beginning of the Tucson show
and finaly totaly robbed at the end of the Tucson show.
Fortunatly the criminals have been iddentified and one have admited
that he has the material. For security and procedure raison we will not
disclose their names at that time nor the circumstances, we can just tell
you that two are Americans and one is Morrocan.
We and the Police have enough evidences and witnesses, that will lead the
criminal team to be
punished by the full power of the Law.
We offered them to give back the material and we would not press charges,
but it seems that they are not cooperating.
The French Police will involve FBI and INTERPOL in the next days as they
don't return our inventory intact and at no cost NOW.
Here is a rapid list of what have been stolen and extorqued:
http://www.meteorite.fr/en/stolen.htm
this list is still partial as we are working on it, there are many
fossils too.
Many of you know that these specimens are our and saw them in our room or
on our web site for years,
please have a close look on that list, some specimens might be already
for sell somewhere.
We ask any Dealer, Collector or Curator to be very carefull.
If you have been proposed any suspicious specimens, please report it to
us or Eric Twelker off list.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Best from France,
