As Black Aeronaut pointed out, however, there'd almost certainly be a major effort to find it. It wouldn't much surprise me if SHIELD put a tracer on it as you suggested -- but (devil's advocate here), based just on the Winter Soldier trailer, Cap was given reason at about that time to not particularly trust SHIELD, so he might've found and removed the tracer....Quote:Let's put it this way... You're an average American citizen, hanging out in the greater DC area, and you see something colorful drifting along in the Potomac or washed up on the shore. Upon further investigation, you see that it's an iconic piece of American history, one that your grandparents might have told you about or that you saw in your high school history books, and one you definitely saw in the news coverage of the Battle of New York. And it's just floating there. Maybe it's a prop or relics, but maybe not, and even if it is, it's gotta be worth something. So you grab it.
