I have mentioned in passing here once or twice about a box Whitey and I
found that had a missing stamp. This was kind of sad, but I got over it.
It looks to me like the Planter has stopped checking in on the box for
whatever reason. It has been without a stamp for quite awhile.
My question is... if this Planter is unreachable, would it be okay to
carve a stamp for the box? I wish I had made note of what it looked like
(I'm pretty sure it was stamped inside the cover). If I replaced it,
should I copy the original design? ohhnoooz copywrite infringement!
Maybe not. Hmm... So It may just be best to try to create a similar
stamp or a totally new one.
Its like I feel like I should adopt these boxes that other people are
neglecting. Go ahead and slap me when I start knitting little covies to
keep them warm at night ;-)
Thoughts?

My opinion--you're putting in a substitute stamp for people to use temporarily. When the planter replaces the stamp, (s)he can remove yours. No problem. I would mention in the logbook that you've replaced the stamp temporarily.
If you're knitting, just remember: camo yarn. =)

Was it this list that posted the link to the camo-knitted, uh, ...
tackle-warmers? I had just managed to scrub that image from my brain
and you had to go and mention camo-yarn!

Contact the LBNA webmasters - if the owner has not logged into the LBNA site in more than a year and can't be contacted they might let you officially "adopt" the box.
But you might want to adopt and then archive the box. There was a discussion back in May about whether it's better to adopt or archive abandoned boxes. You can read it here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/letterbox-usa/message/59734
I had initially been in favor of adopting but there were good arguments made (as you'll see in the thread) that it's better to archive abandoned boxes. If the spot is a nice one, plant a new box there. That way you get credit for the plant and everyone else can find a new stamp.

Ha! The not so subtle hint that the relationship is OVER. "Here
