Dear Geoff

Holy crap! That really sucks!!! (as I state the obvious) If you have pics of those taken, please post them asap, so we can all help in locating them ASAP. One thing about meteorites, is that they are like snow-flakes, where no two are the same, and can be easilly identified.
 
I think that new pick you were sporting in the return to Sweden episode, would look great planted firmly up the perp's Arse!
 
What a rotten way to start the show :(
 
Keep your chin up, my friend, and here's to a speedy recovery!
 
Craig

> bag containing three Campos was stolen along with various personal
> items. I think there is a good chance the thieves will attempt to sell

> be on the lookout for them. They will be very easy to ID, as all three
> have natural holes, all have been cleaned and have the typical
> blackish color of treated Campos, and are of widely varying weights. I
> don't have exact weights, unfortunately, but here is a brief
> description:
>
> 1) Small individual, less than 100 grams, resembles a human face with
> a hole in the middle
>
> 2) Very distinctive triangular or knife blade-shaped iron with flat
> faces (no thumbprints) maybe about 800 grams, with a natural hole near
> the edge that makes it look very much like an alligator or dinosaur
> head. Stands up naturally with the hole near the top long edge.
>
> 3) Roundish individual, approx 1.5 kilos with smallish natural hole
>
> If you are approached by individuals trying to sell these three irons,
> please take appropriate action. I would suggest stating you'd like to
> buy them and ask if you can hold onto the pieces for a couple of hours
> to get them evaluated. Then call 911 and report stolen merchandise.

> Thanks for reading, and for all of you currently in Tucson, enjoy the
