As the friend of Steve's and owner of the stolen slice referred to....
As all too many of us know, to have something stolen from us is an
awful, awful feeling---and this being among the most resplendent and
valuable pallasitic Glorieta slices made it worse. But it seems to me
we should never allow the loss of a material good to continue to
create upset as we simmer over the same over an extended period.
While I was livid by the theft, I slowly became aware something more
was being stolen beyond a valuable meteorite: it was my being at
peace and in good cheer. Perhaps my being circumspect came from the
loss of something of far greater significance that same year---but the
lesson remains: there is a moment for the upset created a theft to
end, as we are then stealing from ourselves.
Steve, I'm not as sanguine as you as to the possible outcomes here.
It has been almost ten years. It wasn't your fault (and try to let go
of your suspicions). When we see one another next let's toast our
friendship and good fortune....as well as the hope that Allen's
situation turns out better than ours....and that it's the thieves who
live with the torment and discomfort of what they've done (for therein
is lies the seed for them to salvage their souls). I might also
mention I coated that slice in Polonium 210. ;-)

Like that big 444.5 gram slice of pallasite Glorieta Meteorite that
I found and was at auction at Tucson in 2001... A slice out of the
center of largest Glorieta pallasite ever found, 20.5 Kg.
One walked off with it, tucked in a folder.
The slice was not mine as I parted with the huge pallasite before
the buyer and close friend cut it...
Bothers me to this day that one would have the gall to steal that
slice knowing the pain of its loss would bring to me and my friend...
If that person is reading this... And did the deed, and grace fills
your heart, you can always send it back to me, no questions asked,
and my forgiveness given... And I think that my friend will agree
and also forgive...

I am in the crazy newcomer mode of buying. My wife found a slice in a
small box in the garbage yesterday, because she wanted the box for
Christmas gifts. I had thrown it away.
That was a wake up event.... I live out beyond the crackheads and
such, so I don't have to worry about theft much. My dogs wouldn't
allow it anyway.
I think I will sit down someday and photograph everything so I know
what I have, first of all, and secondly for insurance purposes in case
of fire ..etc.
I still can't get over someone stealing so personal a possession like
that. I never will understand it....and I am 'afraid' I couldn't
control myself in such a case.....

I believe everyone on this list is honorable and do not want to
purchase lost, stolen , or illegal to export material. The
wonderful thing about meteorites is the provenance. My slices if
stolen and cut up can still be identified like a fingerprint. This
makes collecting meteorite slices one of the most safe hobbies a
person can do. Clear skys! Steve
