How would a thief prove to a prospective buyer that the rock he has is a
genuine moon rock? Maybe this rock will be mentioned in spam email.


What do thieves do with famous stolen paintings? Sometimes a painting
ends up in some millionaires private art collection and reappears
years later, after the collectors death.

Dennis Tito and Mark Shuttleworth each paid $ 20-million dollars for a
ride into space. Is it possible some other millionaire space buff
would like a moon rock for his personal collection?
