Default What to do if you find a meteorite?

Not that *I* did, nor do I ever expect too (although it would be DAMN cool!)...

But what are supposed to do with a stone that falls from the sky in front of your house, or anyway that you find and think could be a meteorite?
Does it belong to the state/science institutions (<Indie Voice>"It belongs to a museum!"</Indie Voice>), or can you keep and/or sell it to the highest bidder?

I've seen some "Stones from Space" for sale in a local toy store today, what are they really? (They were called something-ites, I don't remember the name right now but I think I've seen it on this board before...) Would that be legal?
