He hit 3 of my virtuals and 3 others I watch as well. I was going to give
him a little bit to produce pictures and then confront him (politely, of
course). The log date is Dec. 31, 2007, so the logs could easily be
overlooked by inattentive cache owners.
I had a cache that was being falsely claimed by primarily German cachers. I
got suspicious and finally looked at the cachers activities and found a
couple of them visiting caches that would have made a Star Trek transporter
part of the necessary caching equipment in order to visit such a diverse set
of locations in a single day. I changed the requirements and have only had
one faker try since (with the old answer, and yes, he was from Germany).
