**What should I do if I’ve discovered a mass theft of wayspots?** I’m almost certain that the few duplicates I’ve found are just the tip of the iceberg — this mass theft likely involves a larger number of wayspots. Should I report each one individually? In most cases, it’s nearly impossible to identify the original source wayspot. I can’t trace every origin, and neither can the nia (or whichever now) reviewers handling my reports. * * * It seems likely that the thief originally lived in Tbilisi, Georgia, since the earliest stolen wayspots appear to have come from there. **Part A/ Stolen from Tbilisi** > Перемен требуют наши сердца ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/wayfarer/original/3X/a/a/aac5686cfd0fb1ad18a8d814f7ad291e5dd9f31f.jpeg) This is a very popular portal for theft. It has been stolen, I think, 3 times already. The funniest thing is that I am not sure that the source in Tbilisi itself was not stolen from somewhere.
