ams1106: There certainly had been a controlled burn in this location, I was not aware or I would have moved it. However, there is no evidence that the container was damaged by the fire as there would have been melted plastic due to the size of the container. I believe it was taken, this theft of my containers has gotten old. I will no longer be replacing containers that are taken. This one was fun while it lasted, thanks to all who found it and left in better shape than they found it.
