What a patent attorney friend of mine has said is that if you send the filing patent attorney proof that there is prior art, the attorney has a duty to notify his client and the PTO of this prior art. OF course, take that with whatever grains of salt you want. Also, for $3k, you can ask the PTO to reexamine the patent.
Of course, it might be worth it to follow Ted's advice and just let it be. I'd be slightly concerned that this could turn into a frivolous law suit where they try to win by throwing money at the legal system, though.
