Wacky. This geocache was apparently from China, in an unknown hiding spot just west of the Sanya airport in Hainan-an island province off the southern coast. There is not a geocache listed there, probably because it was relocated to the closet in the apartment! Do you live close to China? Can you put it back? Heh heh. But seriously, can you divulge the name of the city or state where this apartment is located, just out of curiosity?
The folks at Geocaching.com may be able to look up archived geocaches in that area. It would appear that someone either removed the geocache (e.g. "stole" it) or else the cache owner lived in that apartment and either changed his/her mind about placing it or was otherwise inclined to retrieve it.
An interesting find. Please don't throw it out. I'm sure that some geocacher near you can put it to good use as a resurrected geocache.
Cheers,
Seth!

Greetings! I need information, please. My DH found a geocache box in an apartment move out. In the box was a sea shell with this inscribed on the inside: Sanya 18 degrees 17.409N 109 degrees 22.984E
along with some other items. We're not geocachers, but this box needs to get back to someone. Please help. Thanks, in advance. Sincerely, Brenda
