Saw this over on the geocaching.com site, and thought I’d share. Too bad for the cache owner, but I got a laugh out of their log.

That’s pretty funny. 😆

I wonder if they billed the cache owner for the “service.”
God knows how many times a geocache has been blown up by the bomb squad.
Here is a list of 248 logs of caches that were either blown up, confiscated or what ever. Enjoy the read there are quite a few good ones.

Funny thing is my son is a student at UNO & they had rec’d emergency campus texts that there was a possible pipe bomb in Memorial Park. He sent me a message about it & I didn’t even think it would be a cache. Glad to find out I already found this one back in 2012.
What would parent of these students (could have been a grade school) think if they received an emergency text?
I remember one time I was caching in Canada (we were doing the loop around lake Superior) and when I opened a cache container and a lot of white powder fell all over my hands. We were miles from anywhere so I ran back to the car and poured water all over my hands. I didn’t know what to do or think – I just dropped the container and didn’t go back…
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I do believe that if an owner comes forth or is tracked down, they are billed for the cost….for the kind of reasons Casual-Cacher mentions.
I know back when I was on the WGA board, there was a committee that worked to develop an informational pamphlet for law enforcement agencies. Some of the things that can happen when caching can compromise this game and it helps to keep that in mind. Personally, I’m not a fan of anything that says you need “stealth” for that reason.
I was thinking about this and wondering who would get the bill for the police call.
A) Would it be the cacher who was seen looking for the cache, replacing it as found and later identified in a police line-up or
B) The CO – after all it’s his cache isn’t it or
C) The land owner/manager who authorized the CO to place the cache where he did or
A little bit off topic but I wonder what he thinks of cachers?
The officer logged it as a find. He’s even logged one of Trekkin and Birdin’s caches…
I guess that would qualify as a LTF
The best sig is no sig.
I didn’t say I found the situation funny, I stated that their log was funny.
