[Az-Geocaching] the sticker

[Melinda]

Stupid question: were both caches on public property?  Team Caballero (David
and I) haven't tried to find either cache, so I don't know.  If either was
on private property, then this definitely isn't an official sticker, person
or complaint.

 

This is worrisome.  I'd be hesitant to run into this person(s) at one of the
cache.  Maybe I'm overreacting, but this person doesn't seem very friendly.

Anyone who was official would have left a contact number of some sort, or
agency identification to make it more legitimate.

Both caches are in different cities, yet the sticker is identical. Which
agency would cover both cities like that?

In the past, whenever park rangers have confiscated caches, they have either
posted notes on the cache page stating why they did so, or contacted
geocaching.com to stop this activity. This person is only stealing caches
and placing this sticker. He or she is not doing everything they can to stop
the activity (such as contacting the website or posting a note on the cache
page).

Given that he or she claims the cache is litter, he or she is doing the
exact same thing by posting that sticker. No govt agency would do so without
identifying themselves on the sticker.

Any person can print stickers from their computer. 

I dont care for anyone who decides caches cant be placed and then seeks to
steal caches, planting these stickers and basically ruining the fun of many
folks just because he or she THINKS this isnt right. If they have the proper
authority to do so, well fine, I can live with it. This one doesnt appear to
have that authority tho, and that irks me.
