I did that cache. I never did sign the log though, I claimed a find.
Yes, this one gave me the willies. It was near the start of my caching
adventures, but as you can see from my logs, I thought it was a bad
cache at the time. Then, later when someone actually pulled it out, the
fact that a pocketknife was in the cache made it that more stupid.
Mind you, that cache didn't last long as a cacher. One wonders why?
Yes, caches need thought when placed. Next to a jail under the guards
noses with a pocketknife in the cache - bad idea. Stealth? Even worse.

caching).
