Yes, you seem to have the same situation that I had. I did wait about 6 months before fixing it up and another 7 months before posting it. I would say after a 6 month wait and keep trying to find the owner is enough. Use the original stamp if it is still useable. Adopting a box is basically just doing a good deed. You fix it up and maintain it but if the original owner shows up it is his.You cannot count it as a plant but you can claim it as a find and you have done a good deed and help letterboxing. You must assume that someday, the owner will eventually show up to see "whatever happened to that box I planted a couple years ago." Good luck and Happy Letterboxing.....Chuck and Molly

Chuck,
TeamGreenDragon recently came across a very badly damaged box the
"Blue Hills" LB in Milton MA (Logbook soaked,Box badly damaged,
Stamp missing) would it be appropriate for us to replace this box?
I have had no luck contacting the original hiders. And we would be
happy to help in any way we can.Is this what you mean by "Adopted
abandoned box"?
