THE NINE MOST WANTED TIME CAPSULES

3. Corona, California, Time Capsules. The City of Corona seems to have
misplaced a series of 17 time capsules dating back to the 1930s. Efforts to
recover the capsules in 1986 were in vain. "We just tore up a lot of
concrete around the civic center, "said the chairman of the town's
centennial committee. A Los Angeles Times reporter has called Corona "the
individual record holder in the fumbled time capsule category."
