I see your point but respectfully disagree. Remember, the Globe staff doesn't know whether the medallion has been found until someone brings it in. We don't send an employee out to check on it each day because that could conceivably tip someone off to its hiding place — although stalking a Globe employee in hopes of finding the medallion would be a truly desperate act.
Besides, even if we did send an employee to check on the medallion each day, someone could find it between the time the checker left the scene and the time he or she got back to the office, which would undermine the assertion that the medallion is still out there. (I know it sounds like a long shot, but it's possible.)
Once the medallion has been turned in, we will relay that information to people calling in to ask if it has been found. I would imagine we would also post the info online.
