W O W this has got to be a real bummer!!!!

I just read message #34393 about a box stolen and I am appauled that
some A** would even DO such a thing. I was there on 9/23 and all was
well. Now this ignorant jerk has "the info" (the standard info sheet
included in many boxes I've stamped in) to get on this site and LBNA
to look up boxes in this area and randomly go and destroy boxes.

I am new to letterboxing in New Jersey and this really, really
stinks. I haven't planted MY first box yet but now I have second
thoughts of planting if some JERK can steal my hard work!!!!

Oh, I am trying to make arrangements to attend your gathering 10/26
but I don't think I will be able to attend. It should be a blast.
That park is wonderful. Been there several times. If I can't attend
I hope your turn out is good and a good time is had by all.


Happy 'lboxing to all,
msishkabibble

Unfortunately, as there always is, somebody that has got to spoil
the fun just becasue. I am very sorry to hear about the vandalized
box too. And totally agree that it's a shame for somebody to work so
hard on a box only to have it ruined by some jack the ripper
letterboxing equivalent. Just keep in mind there are more good
people in the world then there are bad...
