would it be possible to wipe me from the founder list of this spot http://gowalla.com/spots/171846 so that I can found it again? The spot currently has no items and I would like to drop one there.

Thanks for letting us know the issue is being worked on.

I moved it and also bumped up the radius to cover the entire hospital

It's a public spot and available for anyone who can get within range to check-in at; you should see it as a good thing, maybe some folks will start exchanging items at your spot. :-)

There are a few "Mom and Dad's House" spots near me and I'm looking forward to checking into those spots soon just for the fun of it. I'm going to found the spots too. :P

Dave,

Thanks for posting your links; I looked at the item page for the Praying Mantis and the same scenario happened with the same person as me!

John Critz dropped our items at a different location at the same time; according to his profile he's a dev for alamofire so he could have been doing some testing and affected our items.

Item vanished from founded spot and dropped by someone else at different spot.

I founded my local Costco with a Taco 18 days ago and today I checked into this Costco and there were no items found at this spot. According to the page for this Spot I am the only one who has been here and it shows me dropping the Taco (link: http://gowalla.com/spots/171846); I clicked the link for the Taco to see its history and see that someone else also dropped this Taco on the same day at a nearby Yogurtland with no record of him picking it up from Costco (link: http://gowalla.com/icons/489699)

Could we have been issued the same item at the same time and his dropping of the item after me remove the item from Costco?

Is this a bug and will I ever get to found my local Costco again?

Richard Lillis replied on December 17, 2009 00:51 to the question "Expand radius for Disneyland and CA Adventure" in Gowalla:

I did not want it to go beyond the street; i just mentioned the streets as a visual guide. for CA Adventure I had the pin placed so that people can check in when they enter the park but if they are in the Paradise Pier area they would not be able to check-in.

Disneyland can be bumped from the user max of 150m to 250m and still be within the park boundry.

While checking out spots in Las Vegas I noticed that LAS McCarran needs to be supersized to airport radius.

Expand radius for Disneyland and CA Adventure

Can the radius for California Adventure be bumped up beyond XX-Large to reach West St on the left and Harbor Blvd on the right?

Disneyland can also use a similar increase:

The issue is not finding the original Americano item; it is that the original Americano is no longer listed as a missing item for me and I have not valuted it and I dont not have it in my pack. I know the item still exists in the game and am not sure why it is not on my missing items list.

Has the Festive Americano replaced Americano?

Has the Festive Americano replaced the Americano? I use to have the Americano in my "missing" list and recently noticed that I no longer have it missing but I also do not have it vaulted. I do have the Festive Americano vaulted and am wondering if that is the reason why the original Americano is no longer listed as missing for me.

I'm still hunting for an original Americano. :-)

I've been using Hospital as in Animal Hospital; you can probably also go with Doctors Office since a vet is a Doctor for animals.
