family's roof in NewZeland.

There's an annoyed post on sci.astro from Darren Garrison
about the fact that some
self-proclaimed "expert" suggested they dry it out in an oven :-)

So who has ownership of such an object? And I wonder if a typical insurance
policy covers the damage.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling!

Since nobody got hurt, this turns out to be a very cool thing. I wonder
if they get to keep the meteorite or if the government will take it away.

If they get to keep it, at least they can sell it and use the money to pay
for the roof..

And less they got house insurance, I bet the insurance people didn't see
that coming. lol

I'll bet the insurance contract doesn't cover "acts of god."
