This is like worrying about whether it will rain on your picnic!

If we worried about our boxes becoming orphans, we'd place very few boxes.
One of our goals is to place a box in a s many states as our little feet can
carry us! We find that most of these places are ones we would love to return to,
and often end up doing just that (i.e., Gettysburg, PA, Ashland. OR, Nantucket
MA). Whenever we read a sit rep from one of our far-away Lbs, we heave a
happy sigh wishing we were there, and sit back enjoying the fact that we brought a
little fun into some boxer's life.

My feeling is, never let this be a reason to NOT place a box. If there's a
problem in the future, you'll figure out a way to deal with it.
