I think Phil is probably right on that count. They (the authorities)
were making an example out of Mike and Rob, and they were also sending
a message. I think that message is pretty clear, despite the fact
that apparently it is not illegal yet to remove Omani meteorites. Ask
anyone who has been wrongly accused of a crime and they will tell you
that the actual law has very little to do with what the authorities
can/will do.

They're sending a message to meteorite hunters that we don't want your kind

and let M R go.

Hi Mike Robert,
Glad you are both home and safe and sound.
What a story!
Do you happen to know WHY you were targeted by the Omani cops?
Best regards,
Charley Butterfield
