I'm with Chris, tokheim and db on this.
How come it is the original owner and not the insurance co. your in contact with. If the guy has any kind of insurance at all the globe should have been covered. [was the globe the only thing he lost?] If the authorities have been in contact with you because of the globe, how come you still have it? Didn't anyone verify it was indeed the globe in question?
I'd say deal only with the insurance co. about it and last but not least, you aren't the crook here so don't take the loss.
