Moon rock
Gutheinz suggested offering an amnesty period for the thieves to try to recover the stolen Moon rock. This offer was backed up and printed in the "Times of Malta" newspaper. As of 2012, the Apollo 17 Maltese "goodwill Moon rock" is still missing. Gutheinz suspects that counterfeit variations will be sold for decades. Heritage Malta condemned the thieves as being "cowardly" and asked help from anyone who may have information on the theft or the thieves.
