It would appear that I need a very ambiguous "white float w/ my name on it" attached to the pot. I'll have to work on that. I bought one pot. They were about $35 - w/ the cull rings and turtle extruder locally. I figure as I'm on the corner of the canal - throwing several pots (that I'd use once per year) into a small space would be kinda goofy.
I'll just toss the one pot w/ white float w/ my name and address on it right into the corner of the canal and attach it back to the pillar of the house we are renting. That would seem to meet all the criteria listed on DE site.
