Mark & Sue Pepe hail from Kensington, CT USA.

After finding our initial box in June 2002, we have since found letterboxes in 18 states and placed them in 13 states; 4 countries: Aruba, Bermuda, The Netherlands, Great Britain; and on a cruise ship! Thanks for stopping by our website and we appreciate your continued support.

"Have fun and just get out there & box!!!"

It's a Black Day for Boxing in CT


We've been following, with heavy hearts, the unfolding story about what has happened here in CT. Over the weekend, 3 well-known areas, chocked full of letterboxes, have slowly reported missing boxes. And it's not the ordinary one or two boxes that you hear about from time to time. About 150 boxes at this point have gone missing over this past weekend alone and the concern of the CT boxing community is where does this end? Who would do something like this? It takes on such a surreal dimension.

Part of me says that publishing this story only feeds the perpetrators who might be seeking publicity. But the other half of me says that the word must get out. Maybe by informing the local boxing community, we can save some of these targeted boxes.

In an effort to stop this crime, many have archived their clues on the LBNA. Some of us feel that it might be too late as these hoodlums have probably printed off clues for all the areas of their earmarked hits. While the CT boxing community explores every possible option to catch these thieves, we ask that those of you in CT to stay aware and be vigilant. Keep your eyes open for possible problems or anyone who might look suspicious.

We'll keep you informed of developments as they occur. This is a story that we never expected to write - a most horrible deed done to those creative, wonderful letterboxers who have worked so hard to make CT a great place to box. We keep hoping we'll wake up in the morning and discover this has just been a bad dream . . .
