By chance, could some muggles have seen a group of boxers put the box back, investigated, and take the stamp?

It was a cold, rainy and VERY windy day... the only people crazy enough to be in a cemetery poking around were boxers - all noxers were smart enough to stay inside next to their woodstove holding their cup of Allen's Coffee Brandy ;)

One thing I noticed at my recently hosted event was that some people were not rehiding the boxes as they found them. I don't know why, if they figured more people were coming so they'd make it easier for them, or what? But, at some point, someone is the last person, and they needed to be hidden from muggles after the event. I don't know why the basic tenet of 'hiding better than you found it' doesn't apply at events, but it seems like people get lax about it.
Sorry about your missing stamp! Any chance someone put it back in the wrong place and it's still around?

There were 12 of us looking under every headstone anywhere near where it was supposed to be.... I thought we were going to loose MissAdventure under one of them she was in so deep! 😜

I noticed this at L&B xx, some people just tossed the stamp in the area it was hiding. We almost didn't find one.

Ive noticed in large events, people all bunch up and sometimes people take a stamp over to someone and then they got confused as to where it goes. Ive also seen people take a stamp way over to a bench or something and then it gets rehidden at the wrong tree. People are in too much of a hurry and cut too many corners. Ive even seen people take all the stamps and bring them to their car so someone who can't or doesn't want to get out of the car, doesn't have to. Seriously I don't care, but jist return the stamp exactly where it belongs.

I have a solution for the Bean event... if people don't put the stamps back where we planted them I will never hold another Bean event again! lol
