I got this from a Geocacher today:
Message:
While geocaching recently I came across a letterbox in Arroyo
Grande. Being new to geocaching, I didn't realize this was an
entirely different game. The stamp (which the box said not to
remove) was missing. So I figured ALL the stuff that
had been there was plundered. Being the good citizen I am ;) I
refilled the LETTERBOX with GEOCACHE trinkets! (I'm turning red.)
ANYHOW...can't find any mention of an Arroyo Grande letterbox on
this site. Any suggestions for how I might find its owner to let
him/her know the stamp is missing...and that I will return shortly
to remove my detritus. (I suspect another geocacher found the
letterbox, too, and, as with the "rules" of geocaching,
traded a trinket for the stamp.)

==============================================================
I wrote her back asking exactly where she found the letterbox.
Probably get the GPS coordinates back. Seems most of them can read
that. At least she wrote me asking if it was my box. Perhaps we can
save her from geocaching; seems like she has a good heart. Wonder if
she cheeseraces, though?

This same thing has happened to one of my boxes in CA. As a result I have begun
adding a laminated "This is NOT a geocache label to my letterboxes." Funhog

I do understand that. The problem is that the Geocachers do not seem
to read that label either.
