What happened to that professor who owned it? I assume he passed away or something. Unless they just stole it? :P
Maybe give the guy a little bit of credit for the collection even if he couldn't take care of it as well as a museum.
Died in August 2010 [1], so he was still alive when this happened in August 2006.
