Aloha,

I have good news to share with the meteorite community. My stolen meteorites have been found and have made their way home. Two months ago i discovered them missing from my office at the Institute for Astronomy, and reported the crime to the local police and FBI. Both were helpful, but they did not appear to be making any progress in the case, and I accepted my loss and turned away from it.

Last week, I discovered them through Jason Snyder who innocently purchased them from a seller he did not know. I contacted Jason, who was straightforward with me about how he acquired them. He has honorably sent them back home where they can continue to do the good work of outreach, inspiring young people to empower themselves through education here in Hawaii.

Jason Snyder is my hero today, and together with all the people who have helped me and everyone here on the list who have kept an eye open for my meteorites, I want to express my heartfelt and sincere thanks! Mahalo nui loa!
