Basket Meteorite

Hey, do you know the story on this one?
This piece was stolen from the Meteor Crater site in 1968!
It was returned in 2006. I heard a story that a guy bought it at a garage sale thinking he could scrap it, but ended up keeping it to balance a basketball goal! After a bit of research, he found out that it was a significant piece of the Crater- and he pretty much just gave it back to the museum there.
