Lampl's attorney, Michael R. Kelly, told Sensenich that Lampl has no income and not many assets. Lampl's father, Richard Lampl of Sewickley, told the magistrate it might be difficult for him to raise the bond because he has a "fledging" business and is experiencing a cash flow problem. Sensenich said a hearing will be held on July 27 if the bond isn't posted by then. Sensenich also ordered Lampl to be placed in the custody of his mother, Mary Ann Lampl; imposed a 7 p.m.

Highlights of the collection include a 30-foot royal funerary boat; a reconstructed middle-class tomb of 1200 B.C.; and a diorama depicting a pharaoh making an offering to the falcon-headed god Horus.
