      "title": "Theft of Debris from the Space Shuttle Columbia: Criminal Penalties",
      "summary": "The breakup of the Space Shuttle Columbia strewed debris over parts of the West and the South,\nand\nrecovery of this debris was considered vital to the investigation into the Columbia's final moments\nof flight. Almost immediately after the breakup, however, press stories reported that members of\nthe public were recovering pieces of Columbia's wreckage and converting them to their personal use. \nEven though the organized search for Columbia debris is winding down, prosecutions continue for\nstealing debris and new ones could possibly arise in the future. This report briefly describes possible\ncriminal penalties for conversion of government property, and does not address issues related to the\npersonal property of the Columbia's crew. This report will be updated as warranted.
