That's exactly what happened in the town of Kimberly in Wisconsin, USA. The capsule was buried near the municipal building but had to be dug up in 1997 when the building complex was remodeled. From then, it's not clear where - or even if - it was reburied. They are now using a metal-detection device to help them find the wayward time capsule.
The picture above shows a part of South Railroad Street in Kimberly. The capsule could be buried right there. You never know.

Twenty-five years is hardly a long time to leave a time capsule buried anyway. I mean a hundred years would be great, but there are still plenty of people around with clear memories of 1985. Probably just as well they can't find it, maybe somebody will find it in a few more decades time when it's contents will prove interesting.
But then maybe I just feel like that since I'm from a village that started out as an iron age settlement ;-)
I know where it is and I'm not telling! ;-)
