normally I have the opposite problem. People run after me saying I've forgotten the book and I have a real hard time explaining to them they can have it if they want. The other day I met with 2 austrian bookcrossers in lisbon and they had released a book at the terrace of a very busy café and it stayed there for 2 hours until I found it. Ther is a sculpture there of a portuguese poet taking a coffee at a table and they had put the book on that table. As it is a very common meeting place,it is amazing nobody took it.
