Former shuttle worker investigated in theft of shuttle tiles for resale, Florida Today
“Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. David Marich said the homeowner, David Abbey, is a suspect in the case, but has not been charged. Abbey at one time had access to tiles in his previous job with shuttle contractor United Space Alliance. Marich said Abbey allegedly took tiles destined for disposal off KSC property and advertised them for sale on eBay, with prices reaching as high as $880 per tile.”
