I did the drop in Connecticut before the UConn game one year. I wanted to do it somewhere that the locals would get, but all of the out-of-state people who were there for the game wouldn't even know what it was. I chose the Charter Oak monument.

I arrived there, found a parking space about halfway down the street, and as I was walking towards the monument a truck pulled over and asked if that was the BYU50 box I was holding. Apparently he'd been driving back and forth between that and another potential site for half an hour hoping to get the jump on it.

So yeah, he "found" the box before I'd even sent the picture to whoever was posting them to social media. Honestly, I thought it was pretty lame that it was found so quickly, but I couldn't do much about it.

My other thought had been Heublein Tower, people would have had to hike a mile to get there.

That experience made me think that perhaps the whole "friend" thing happened a lot less often than people thought, although I've heard that it definitely happened at least a few times.
