RE: [Az-Geocaching] Re: Cache Pirates

Just throwing this idea out there. Do you think Morty would be slick enough
to post his plunder first, and then go out and actually do the deed some
time later? This would certainly throw us off the scent, although it would
be a dirty trick...just like a pirate.

RE: Morty. We may be looking for a fairly new white pickup (possibly an
F50).

I arrived at the Pushing Tin cache (GCG1N6) at a little before 2:00 on the
3rd. I parked across the road from the cache in a dirt lot as far NE as I
could get to the cache (about 150 ft). As I was getting out of my van, a
white pickup traveling SW came to a quick stop on the road next to me and
then suddenly turned right (jumping a curb) onto the dirt lot. (Had he
traveled another 30 ft he wouldn't have needed to jump the curb.) He then
pulled up behind me, sat there a few seconds and then slowly drove further
SW about 600 feet. He then turned his truck so he was facing my direction
and parked. His actions made me think that he was a cacher by the way he
handled the truck (stopping suddenly on the road and then turning, as if he
were checking his GPSr and realized he was at the site). (you know the
drill . . . we all do it! [;-)] )

I left the site at around 2:20 and the cache had not been plundered yet.
When I arrived home and logged my find (somewhere between 5:00 and 6:00)
Morty had already logged his find advising us that the cache had been
plundered. His profile was already set up and the nine caches he had
plundered for the day were already p osted. The time frame would just about
be right if he plundered the cache at around 2:30. That would give him time
to drive (home?) and log the nine caches by 6:00 at the latest.

So . . . we may be looking for a fairly new white truck!

Note: The 8:20 p.m., May 3rd posting on the cache page by dpo was either a
wrong time or dpo was there on the 2nd instead of the 3rd. Dpo's log entry
was already posted when I logged my find between 5:00 and 6:00 on the 3rd.
The cache was plundered after dpo found the cache.

I agree, it seems to have been planned and then re-planned once all the
anger came to the surface. From reading his profile page, it would seem
that
Mortey has n't yet re-hidden the cache bags. We will have to wait to see,
I
guess. I agree with what Scott just said, it also almost sounds like
Mortey
is someone we all know, because we're supposed to figure out his identity.
Either that, or we're supposed to go up to complete strangers and ask,
"Are
you the Dread Pirate Mortey?" (Princess Bride quote there for you movie
buffs.)

Either way, I will be interested to see who is the first person to spot
Mad
Mortey. I will be on the lookout. Arrr.
