Yeah, I also just lost two boxes of a series where the boxes keep going missing. It's a very difficult park to hide in, and I was going to just retire the boxes and all the sudden I got a blue diamond - my only ones, so what heck do I do now, retire or recarve? One of the boxes has actually gone missing once before and I rehid it in a different spot. I found the stamp lying in the woods a few months after it went missing the first time. So I think I have that...somewhere...

Sorry for your loss. The kids and I got two of them, while we were camping. They get really disapointed when boxes are missing. I planted a box for my siter and her dog. We were POed when I took her out to find it and it was gone.

We found three of them on July 19th. We did find the log book though. It was a fun series that we really enjoyed. Sorry about them being missing.

You said you were not sure what to do with the series that is partially missing, but now has a blue diamond. If the log book is still there, I would only retire the missing ones. We decided to retire our series because the box with the log book is now missing.

We just lost a box and I was PO'd. So much work goes into them

I agreed with you 100 percent. A lot of work goes into a box as well as a handmade crochet Boxing Buddy. A person really can get PO'd when they think about the host not sending their Shirley Temple BB back.
A year has almost come and gone since you received Shirley Temple.
What did you do with her?
