        I did not read this whole thread so I am not sure if this was suggested. I will now not put one out unless I spend the extra couple of bucks and put a bike lock on it and lock the chain to the tree. I doubt they will go through the trouble of bringing a metal saw along… 🙄

        Oh and we do have an ammo can thief around West Bend too, well during the cache bash anyways.

        Don’t doubt the determination of an A-hole. I went out looking for the final of a series in the Wausau area and found the lock/cable cut into four pieces, but no ammo box. This was close to a mile walk each way, so they hauled that bolt-cutter in and it and the ammo box out.

              Congratulations on the milestone. I like the Rustic Roads, too, especially WRR 73 (shameless plug) 😆

                Apparently it was for messing up all the image files and disabling statistics

                            Dooooood it was like the 70’s man… remember, kids rode in the back window of the car, no seat belts, we drank from the hose…stayed OUTSIDE until it was dark playing with human FRIENDS and not electronic friends….

                            OH those were the days.

                            Times have changed, haven’t they? But we still had the Buddy System in the 70’s. I remember doing Hiking Merit Badge with Bob Montgomery. For our 20 mile hike we went to the Illinois Railroad Museum. They had a Dr. Pepper machine that sold 12 oz glass bottles of Dr. P for 10 cents. We bought a bunch of them for the hike home. Went to open the first ones and realized that we didn’t have an opener. So I opened them all with my teeth 😯 Man, was that stupid! Fortunately I didn’t break any teeth.

                              if the cache was on the rescue list due to a maintenance issue and the Rescue was a verified removed and I found the container and removed it, I would say yes, both found and rescue should be submitted. If the cache was on Rescue due to DNFs, usually a verify present type would be on that rescue and often requested that only previous finders attempt to verify, though sometimes people get lucky. If you cannot verify that the cache is there or gone as a previous finder, then only the looked and did not find LCG report seems correct.

                              If it is a verify present mission, why would only previous finders be allowed? If I haven’t found the cache before, and I go there and find it, doesn’t that verify that it is present? I think it should be the other way around. If it is verify removed mission and I haven’t found it before, I go out to GZ and can’t find it, that doesn’t verify that it is removed … just that I couldn’t find it. If I do find it and remove it, though, then I can verify that it is removed.

                              As to the original question, if I find an archived cache and remove it, I log a find as well as the cache rescue and LCG reports.
