[Az-Geocaching] WARNING TB police

[EvilFISH]

Warning do not touch a TB found in any cache

Warning if you place a TB in cache beware of the private emails from the 
cache police

Warning if you warn anyone publicly about this individual you are a bad 
person and will be publicly flogged

Warning letting one bad apple spoil the bunch ruins the crop

>> Quoted in two ways:

>>
>> "You should not place travel bugs in high traffic area caches"

>> Those two sentences are two very similar quotes but yet very different

>> Getting private emails like the second is not cool.
