Burying the Evidence: nine out of every 10 time capsules go missing

I remember a quote from Wired some years ago:

"Real futurism means staring directly into your own grave and accepting the slow but thorough obliteration of everyone and everything you know and love."

The sufficiently distant future is a place where you (and they) won't be. Time capsules can be seen as a cry into this abyss.

I often wonder what happened to the time capsule that we planted back in elementary school... I distinctly remember it being planted near the flag pole. Unfortunately that school closed a decade ago, and was torn up. I guess it could still be there, but its likely been crushed or pilfered.

"Missing" is too general since it includes "stolen".

Tell me about "forgotten" time capsules. About some interesting finds made hundreds or thousands of years in the future.

I don’t like the unnecessarily snarky tone of this article. It distracts from the main topic.
