Stealthboxxer?! Say it isn't so! It doesn't seem like someone so
stealthy would pull out of DMS's driveway with screeching tires, but
then, what do we really know about this stealthy man?

Hmm.... Mr. Bacon might have his hands full if it is indeed a fellow
PI he must investigate. Stealthboxxer makes his living covering up
other people's tracks as well as his own and surely won't be easy to
nail such a dasdardly crime on.

Boy, I tell you, I didn't see this twist coming!

steal a load of PZKut and she keeps him on a short leash. ;o)

Yeh, where were you when our reputations were under attack?

Don

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!! WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!

We are forgetting one component here. You speak of Don as an innocent
man, and accept his letterboxing log as proof that he wasn't involved
in this DASTARDLY crime, but I'm not so convinced. Where was Gwen
during all this? I have seen them box separately on occasion. Who is
to say that Gwen wasn't out letterboxing and found the stamps that Don
had conveniently carved for her beforehand. How do we know that Don
wasn't out accomplishing the deed while Gwen, who would never dream of
anything so heinous, was innocently letterboxing? And how do we know
that they even stamped the right date on the logbooks? I ask you . . .

I don't know. I have liked Don and Gwen, but I grow suspicious when
they so quickly point their fingers at Stealthboxer, and then a
certain Turtle jumps in to the mix as well. I don't know. I wonder
if they might be in cahoots. You know, my sources tell me that this
turtle character has access to people with airplane accessibility.
How do we know they aren't all in the mix?

I'm growing suspicious, and I'm hiding my own precious supply of white
PZ Kut.

See here Cadenza, this accusation has gone far enough. I didn't
point any fingers at anyone. I merely passed along what we saw on
the road home. Seems like you would believe Gwen, so here is her
statement below.
Don

Don is a loving guy and wouldn't steal any white PZKut from any
carver, at least not their complete stash. While I would never call
Don innocent, he is not guilty of this crime.
Gwen

Come on, Don, we have only your word for it that Gwen typed that. And if she DID type it, can we be sure it wasn't under duress??? Pretty shaky if you ask me....

Gwen is so forceful in her expressions of Don's innocense. I fear she
doth protest too much. Where was Gwen when all of this transpired?
She could have duped her loving, unsuspectng husband into providing
her alibi while she engaged in a dastardly deed of unspeakable
proportions in the letterboxing world. Many a cute and cuddly mien
has masked a clever, cunning rascal.

Grumpy Grinch

You know all this talk of Don & Gwen being separate and distinct
individuals is crazy. Have any of you actually seen them together?
I've always thought that Gwen was Don's 'friendly' alterego.
Hmmmm.... You know those security guys always need a good cover & what
better way to sell it than with a penguin sidekick. I bet there are a
bunch of other 'real & alter-ego' types involved in this hobby, too. I
wonder if that extends to the other famous boxing duos/clans out there
like Wanda & Pete, Chuck & Molly, DrewClan, Bill & Evil Glenn, the
7Nails (have you ever seen all 7 together?) you just never know, do
you? ;)

If even Gwen says he wouldn't take "all" of the PZ Kut, how do we know
that they aren't in league with others? Then they would only have part
of it. Oh, the plot thickens. There have to be others involved here.
I'm not pointing fingers, but it is awfully susicious. Far be it
from me to make accusations about people that could be innocent
though. I wouldn't dream of spreading gossip. That goes against my
very nature.

Alright, it seems that somehow my name has been brought into this
caper. While I don't often dabble in the main list I feel that I must
respond to Don's accusation. I am a private investigator, and like
all private eyes my reputation is very important to my business. I
simply have to respond.

First of all, I can say without any hesitation that I am not
responsible for the theft of Mr. Stamper's PZ Cut. That you will all
have to simply take my word on. I could say more but
client/investigator priveledge prevents me from doing so. You see, I
am working on a case currently and I cannot give any details of that
investigation at this time. Suffice it to say that when Stealthboxxer
tells you he's not involved, then you can believe it.

But to the real matter at hand, Don's alleged recent sighting of me.
Well, there may be some truth to that account, but I tell you it has
nothing to do with the theft! It is true that I was recently in the
Eugene, Oregon area. In fact, anyone who cares to can verify this by
simply contacting the Eugene P.D. and obtaining a copy of the citation
given to me by the police. You see, I was ticketed for speeding in
Eugene, going 29 miles per hour in a school zone. Can you believe
that? I got a ticket for speeding. (Oh, and by the way, in the process
I found out that the Eugene P.D. considers it a reckless offense to
drive with your knees while decyphering Ceasar cyphers. Who would
have known?)

Lastly, I do not want to have to disclose this next piece of
information but I feel that I must for the sake of my own good name
and for the sake of my friend, Mr. DMS and for the hopeful recovery of
his PZ Cut. As I said before, it is true that I was recently driving
in the Eugene area. In fact, I was driving in my 1972 green
OldsmoBuick. However, I am not the only person who drives such a
vehicle. And although I appreciate the kind words said by Ryan in
regards to my reputation, I fear that those words may be just a ploy
to divert aspersions away from Ryan himself. It has come to my
attention that Ryan Carpenter, the Green Tortuga, is reputed to drive
a 1972 green OldsmoBuick too!

Now, I cannot confirm this, I am not really working on this particular
case nor have I any firsthand knowledge of the Green Tortuga actually
driving a green OldsmoBuick. But, this information comes from a very
good, albeit undisclosed and secret source. And I trust that source
enough to make it public to this extent.

So, you all should just keep a mind to watch our 'friend' Mr.
Carpenter and see if he suddenly begins to offer PZ cut for sale on
his site and leave old Stealthboxxer alone to his own case.

Thats all I have to say at this time on this matter.

Ryan can only dream of driving a 1972 Oldsmobuick. That would be at
least seven steps up from what he does drive.

As to the culprit of the theft, I think the fingers are being pointed
in all kinds of wrong directions. I personally suspect noone.

You know, I'd point fingers at Tom, Dick or Harry before I suspect
noone is involved.

Now things are falling into place. It just happens that I received a
frantic phone call from The Tortuga's moll as I was heading home from
a road trip to California the other day. It seems the two were heading
south at a breakneck pace. We rendezvoused well after dark and shared
a little Mongolian hideway in a little-traveled park east of Roseburg,
OR.

First thing in the morning, I spied the Turtle on his belly, still
snuggled in his cozy sleeping bag. You may ask yourself what did he
have in his hand? Well, it dismays me to tell you that his right hand
wielded a Speedball lino tool and the other... you guessed it...
carving medium.

Innocent of the big heist, I failed to inspect it carefully. The light
was dim but I do believe it was of a ghostly hue. I thought it normal
that such an esteemed carver would be shredding vinyl before breakfast
but now I can't help but wonder. The back seat of that disreputable
vehicle of his was filled to overflowing with mysterious bundles...

To think I may have been so close to a the Bonnie and Clyde of the
Letterboxing World makes my skin crawl. To think I always considered
Amanda a perfect lady! Those gifted hankies were most assuredly a
coverup. Funhog

It is interesting that only Amanda posted information about finding

We tend to agree with Don. Ryan has a dark side. Might we see a bunch of white PZ Kut for sale on Atlas Quest in the very near future?

Mr. Bacon,

With all due respect, even a nit-wit would know better than to accuse
Amanda or myself of such a dastardly crime. Anyone who knows me would
doubt any story about my getting caught driving in a green
OldsmoBuick. Let me count the ways:

I'm a walker. I hiked from Georgia to Maine (documented proof can be
found at http://www.atlasquest.com/adventures/ ) and as everyone
knows, I don't like driving. To commit a heist with a car? Ha! If I
were of a criminal intent, my heist would be stealthy, and on foot.

The car I do own is most certainly not green. That's the color of
puke. The car I do own is a healthy shade of silver. Nor is the car I
own an OldsmoBuick. It's an American-built Ford Taurus made by the
hard working men and women in Chicago, according the sticker on one of
the windows.

And it's common knowledge that, as a rule of thumb, my car is not
considered reliable in any sense of the word. To depend on it for such
a heinous crime would be stupidity of the worst sort.

The carving material Funhog caught me with in those early morning
hours was the pink stuff. Proof? I was carving one of the stamps for
Amanda's Citizen Kane in San Simeon, California. Find those boxes and
you'll have proof it was the pink stuff that was carved. (Clues listed
on Atlas Quest.)

Funhog did admit that the light was dim, and pigs aren't well known
for their sense of sight to begin with. The backseat was, indeed,
piled high with bags, but that was because Amanda was traveling with
me and, well, you know how girls like to pack. Show me a girl
traveling light and I'll show you a monkey with a purple head.

As for Don's comment about not recording any find for Little Bastard,
it's common knowledge that I do not reliably record all of my finds.
In fact, I have the logbook and pieces of the Little Bastard letterbox
that were in such great need of maintenance. They are now dried, if a
little worn, and currently in a padded envelope ready to be mailed
later this very afternoon. Are these the actions of a PZKut thief?

The reason for my delayed defense of Don was simply that I do not
check this talk list every day. I have a life too, and I was shocked
and horrified at the accusations being thrown at Don. It wasn't until
a reliable source informed me of this incident did I check to see what
was going on, but by then, I was too late. The damage was done.

But the fact of the matter is this: I've never carved a stamp using
PZKut. Not once. I prefer the pink stuff, though I have resorted to
MasterCarve if the pink stuff was scarce. Never have I ever resorted
to PZKut as those who have found my boxes can attest to.

I am greatly saddened that anyone would even suspect me of such an
atrocious crime. For years I have toiled on Atlas Quest to make
letterboxing a hobby worthy of everyone's aspiration. Just last month
I followed in the footsteps of the Baker's dozen to the Promised Land
of Dartmoor. Those 13 men and women paved the way for a fuller
appreciation of our beloved hobby than ever before, and to suspect
Amanda or I would fall into such disgrace is, well, disgraceful.

Focus your accusations on the more unsavory characters in our hobby.
Take Poison Ivy, for instance. Can you say POISON? Can you say IVY?
And his costumes and disguises are legendary! If you want to start
throwing around accusations, at least start throwing them in
directions where it might stick.

I am as saddened as the next person over this atrocious crime, and I,
for one, am hoping the perp gets what he deserves. (Which, I might
add, is NOT a pile of PZKut.)

-- Ryan, who will accept all apologies

I realize that, Don, but you were the most likely suspect at the time, in our humble opinon. The investigation now seems to have taken another turn in direction - away from Gwen and yourself. We hope there are no hard feelings but you must admit - given your knowledge of security and alarms, wouldn't it be an easy thing to disarm Der alarm?

Dear Cadenza:

I fear you've been blinded by love!

Sue & I have had plumbing problems for a week!
No - not Sue or myself - our house!

We've haven't had hot water since last Wednesday! And we've been busy dealing with the gas company (gas hot water heater), chimney sweeps, plumbers, masons, running to neighbors and relatives to shower and bathe. How in the world would we have had time to hop a quick plane to PDX, rent a car, find DMS' house, pilfer the PZ Kut and take the return trip???

Cross country travel was strictly out of the question with phone calls and work orders and checking account deposits to make to cover the work being done at our home! Anyone on our street, 48 Pinecone Place, can verify that there have been a myriad of repair vehicles and all sorts of sundry work being done here at the Ranchero de Pepe.

If necessary, we would be willing to forward permits, invoices, work orders and the like to both Inspector Bacon and the proper authorities in order to clear our names.
We are confidant of our complete vindication by DMS and all that is good in letterboxingdom.

Innocently yours,

Mark & Sue Pepe

Because NO ONE packs and travels lighter than a flight attendant.

Re-pondering the evidence that has come forth so far... It occurs to me
that Pungent Bob may be right... maybe NoOne committed this crime.

But wait... if that's the case, then where the heck is my flippin' PZ
Kut? None of this is making any sense!! I'm getting a freaking
headache!!!!

Obviously there is more evidence out there that has yet to be revealed.
I need a bottle of tequilla. I'll be back later to see if anything else
has turned up.

Where the heck did that blasted investigator sneak off to, anyway?

As a man, we have a set of rules we must follow. One of them is to
never ask what a lady is packing. However, I can tell you this much:
It very well could be alien. The bags are of a normal size but of an
unusually heavy weight that never ceases to amaze those who must pick
them up. And being a road trip, she felt it would be acceptable to
bring a couple of "extra" bags. All her normal flight attendent gear
(including that heavy emergency manual all flight attendents are
required to carry--never know when it might be useful while driving
down I-5) as well as 'street gear' she normally would not carry while
working.

Very odd indeed, but she packed more than I did and I won't be back
for at least a month!

Wow, looks like I've been missing allthe excitement! Sorry to hear of your profound loss DMS
but who you callin' freaks? U happen to be one of us- remember? Oh, and by the way too late
- the weather has finally been good so we've been out boxing (btw, replaced Pie Rats Ahoy! in
Beaverton) and you can't stop us!!

My first thought about that last randsom note was Stealthboxxer but then I thought that
wouldn't be to sharp to use stealthy. Maybe someone is trying to set Stealthboxxer up!!
Does anyone know who would want to set Stealthboxxer up?

or how about Mystreplacer? They seem to be from the NW but does anyone really know
anything about this mysterious letterboxer? I thought they were generous in adding to the
boxes around here but maybe they ran out of carving material or maybe they are kind of like
Robinhood!

I must go hide my stash although it isn't grade A and I'm sure not even close to the amount
DMS was hording. Just how much was that DMS? I do hope you get it back but am finding this
quite amusing;-)

- the weather has finally improved so we've been our boxing (replaced Pie Rats Ahoy! in

My first thought about the last note was Stealthboxxer but then that wouldn't be too bright to
use stealthy in the note. Maybe it is someone trying to set him up! Does anyone know who
would want to set him up or why?

or what about Mystreplacer? They are new on the scene in the NW but does anyone really
know anything about them!? I thought they were kind of generous adding stamps to the
boxes around here but maybe they ran out of carving material or maybe they are kind of like
Robinhood!!

I best go hide my carving material even though it isn't grade A and probably isn't nearly
1/10th of what DMS was hording. So just how much was there DMS? We do need to know
what we are looking for right? Anyway, I hope you get it back soon even though I am finding
this pretty amusing!

Oh, PS to whoever asked about a gathering - there was one in Washington around the time.

Well, just off the top of my head: Funhog, Camp Fire Lady, Calli K,
Teamware, ET Pancho, 4DToes, and anyone else who has ever searched for
Factice Creek Preserve.

Oh, I'm stealthy alright. But thats just how you like me.

Hey! Let's not drag my good name into this. Just because I live near
DMS, have boxed with him, know where he lives, sold him Camp Fire
candy, etc., doesn't mean that I am involved in this horrible crime.
Oops, maybe I should keep my mouth shut!
Camp Fire Lady (looking for the duck tape)
