I was looking at the logs of this Yo Ho Ho Bozo, and his profile. He =
says that he travels the country plundering caches...leaving only the =
log book and the container and a skull and crossbone stamp in the log =
book. I would imagine that he has had several names with =
geocaching.com and done this before.
The owners of these caches should report the plundering to the people at =
geocaching.com. It won't stop it, but at least he'll have to get a new =
name...they should be able to trace the computer if he is using the same =
one, and eventualy his access to the site and creating caches to put his =
loot in will be taken away
Hopefully this will stop soon, or he will move on to another city to do =
this there.
I did have one thought, however. Instead of the usual bickering =
exhibited on this list serve, perhaps we as a community could band =
together to right this wrong. I know that I was looking forward to =
visiting the Pushing Tin cache as I am familiar with the movie that was =
referenced and would love to watch them coming in like that. =20
In all of the cases, I believe the cache container and log book are =
still in place. Now would it be possible for the memebers of this list =
serv, in the next couple of weeks, to visit these caches and restock =
them...whether we have been to the caches before or not...if you've been =
there post a note, if not, log the cache.
Leave an item or two, and not the usual divoted golf ball, or chewed on =
Mc'D's toy, but something fairly decent, like a still in box Hot Wheels =
car, neat key ring, etc...you know, dollar store items.
If the 25% of this list serv who are regular cachers would do this that =
would be about 40 - 45 cachers, I think. Even if each one only visits 1 =
cache and leaves an item, each cache would have 5 items in them.
Would this be a good idea? Is it possible for us to band together as a =
community to help out some neat caches, and people, rather than continue =
our usual bickering?
I hope so. And I plan to visit these cache in the next 2 weeks to do =
exacly as I have said here. I invite you all to do the same.
Thanks,
Joe

Well, it's official. azcachemeister visited Pushing Tin this morning, =
and confirmed what we had hoped was NOT the case.

The only items remaining were the cache container and the logbook.
