Note: As with all urban hides, please be aware of muggles when making the grab. Make sure to re-hide stealthily as well. Given the nature of the hide, consider an intuitive way to make your grab very stealthily. There is a hint for the hide after the GeoCheck.
Congrats to Caitlin535 for the speedy FTF and BLAA for the close STF and FTS!
