Let me clarify - we (Clan Jiggs) have NEVER listed any box LB, PLB,
HH etc as our own that we didnt create. Those HH that were passed on
to Wanda and Pete were always credited to the originator. We do not
list any HH on LB.org except our own, and we do NOT list the HH
wherabouts anywhere.

placers waive their rights, especially in the case of hitchhikers,
and let the finders treat them as they wish. No one should assume,
unless it is explicity stated otherwise, that they can assume those
rights. This includes the right to list a box on letterboxing.org
without the originator's approval. We have chosen to bend this
policy slightly in the case orphaned boxes by allowing others to
adopt them. When doing so, however, we require the maintainer to
credit the originator with the orginal placement, clues, etc. as
appropriate. That is our method of trying to maintain the
intellectual property rights of others.
