lexmano 05-29-2009, 12:06 PM I received the following e-mail regarding my PNORYN'S cache. I am replacing the log this weekend and will keep you updated if there are further problems.

I found your "PNORYN's" cache on May 22. It was a film canister under a lamppost skirt.
Inside was a 8.5x11 sheet of paper, folded up about a million times. There were no log signatures on it. On the back was a computer printed message which said:
"Congratulations, you have found a GEOCACHE!
Now, let's see if you can find a life.
You <blanking> nerd!"
So unless I am missing something, it looks like a muggle is messing with your cache.
I left everything as-is.
Take care,
Jim / 8FL
I am a little confused by the muggle's sentiments. Geocaching is not a life?!:eek:

hehe, well how sad is that, that someone has nothing to do than go around and tell people they have no life.... what kind of life is that??? I'll take geocaching over that. :D
besides, deep down they're probably just jealous of how cool we are. :D
The muggles statement leaves me alot perplexed. Who needs to find a life? I think it is hilarious that the muggle would steal the cache, go through all the effort to write and place a note in it and re hide it. Wish the muggles of my caches were as considerate. :o

firefighterjake 05-29-2009, 02:08 PM Geez . . . I'm not sure what I would do if I found a life . . . I mean trading a life for a bouncy ball or carabiner doesn't seem like a very fair trade. ;):D
hide_from_the_kids 05-29-2009, 02:22 PM gotta love those bouncy balls. :D
fins2right 05-29-2009, 02:24 PM Obviously the writer was jealous. Maybe he had the same PN-40 issues that I did and lost his mind!! :D
masterson of the universe 05-29-2009, 03:34 PM I guess we can all be just tiny happy that he was just a little bit creative and didn't pee in it.
hollora 05-29-2009, 04:56 PM I had a cache muggled which had a camera in it - and it was eventually returned.........
shuman road searchers 05-29-2009, 05:34 PM I just had a cache muggled and they took out all of the contents but left the container in its home.
brdad 05-29-2009, 06:04 PM School is nearly out, the weather is getting better, and the snot nosed kids are bored!
LaughingTerry 05-29-2009, 08:13 PM I guess we can all be just tiny happy that he was just a little bit creative and didn't pee in it.
Like just happened to one of mine. I guess that one is going to have to go since a local muggle has nothing better to do than put bait in it, steal the log, pee in it. Talk about "get a life" LOL

I spent evenings for almost TWO WEEKS looking for a Laughing Terry cache. How in the heck did a muggle find one and find time to pee in one. :mad: I think I need to make more sacrifice to the great god of geocaching. :D:D
EMSDanel 05-31-2009, 05:48 PM Still chuckling over fins2right's post.... It's at times like this that I wish I had the time to stand watch over that cache to see if the muggle returned and then beat that p--- right out of him, get fins2right to taze him, and make sure he never pees again standing up.

i would rivet a travel bug to his/her ear and send it out in the world to go to every cache and clean them on its travels. :D

Sheesh! Don't give anyone any ideas! I can now expect to go to the next mega-event and see people with TB tags hanging from their ears! LOL! ;);)
(Mine WILL stay on my keyring...)

Ummmm... it's been done. I saw two such ladies at GW VII. TB tag on one side, copy on the other.
team teebow 06-04-2009, 10:53 AM BUT I guess it makes the muggle a bigger blankety blank blank nerd because he or she took the time to FIND the cache AND write such a lovely "log"
I mean do they stand around and watch people and see what they are doing? What muggle would go up to a lamp post and lift the skirt and lo and behold there is a cahce? Some people honestly................
TimAsh329 07-04-2009, 08:12 PM Thats pathetic.
masterson of the universe 11-14-2009, 08:32 PM Appears yet another someone doesn't think much of our hobby. Hopefully this just a one time incident because of the high traffic area. I get the occasional DNF from people there for the right reason, so it's not as though they would have found it by mistake unless they watched someone visit the spot.:(
Got this log today on my Fake Trees Need Water Too...
This one may be gone. Found a thin piece of wood at GZ where the clue indicated the cache should be, that read something like "Geocachers get a real hobby you @&*$%!~. The piece of wood also had the geocache ID on it; GC1FJPJ.
Being a bison tube cache, its sad that they took the time to find a piece of wood big enough to leave such a log...Keep an eye on the next couple DNF's you get just incase...
Ekidokai 11-14-2009, 10:25 PM Wow that's bad. A lot of dirt bags out in that area though.
Mapachi 11-22-2009, 07:54 PM Nerds get the hottest girls!
pm28570 11-22-2009, 09:19 PM At the risk of hijacking this thread.....hope all is well and progressing with Gail and yourself. Nice to see your post!
Nerds get the hottest girls!
firefighterjake 11-23-2009, 08:29 AM Nerds get the hottest girls!
I think so . . . at least I think I've got quite the catch. :) Although she tends to say I'm more of a geek.
My geocaching friend in Slovakia just told me about a new geocaching activity going on there. Somebody just took a **** to every cache in the area. First only traditional caches. After he filled all of them up, he started solving puzzle caches and multi caches too. Whole city has had to be archived.
Ekidokai 12-05-2009, 11:10 PM Holy crap! I mean not good.
brdad 12-06-2009, 08:01 AM Hey now, remember we're supposed to let everyone cache the way they want to.
Opalsns 12-08-2009, 09:57 AM And They say Geocachers need to get a life ........
JustKev 12-08-2009, 10:41 AM I read somewhere that Ekidokai is an investigator. Maybe we can use him to find out who is muggling. :)
Ekidokai 12-08-2009, 10:50 AM You can't afford me and if it isn't burnt I'm not that good.
JustKev 12-08-2009, 12:30 PM We may need your services the next time my mother-in-law cooks then.

Your friend should "set up" a cache that would cache the perpetrator. No, no, no, not a landmine or claymore but maybe a camera like one of the wildlife cameras or something. Once they have a photo they could post it and see if someone recognizes the person. THEN there could be an old fashion lynching! :)

Like a game camera, only "game..ier"
dubord207 12-08-2009, 06:47 PM Put out a roll of toilet paper near the cache. That will help!:)
hollora 12-08-2009, 09:37 PM Didn't one of the caches in Hampden have one of those cameras for a while?
fins2right 12-09-2009, 04:24 PM For a short time Suitedpair and I thought about putting out a cache called "Turkey Hunt" and trying to get a pic of Gob-ler scoring the FTF :D:D:D
This is how it looks like

Disgusting! Not user friendly, family friendly or funny! :mad::mad::(:(:mad::mad::mad: I am pretty liberal but this is beyond my level of being OK. If this happened with any of my caches :eek: they would all be gone .......... forever! :mad:
Ekidokai 01-01-2010, 10:24 PM Don't give anybody any ideas.
masterson of the universe 01-02-2010, 06:31 PM So many one liners here...ie: Wrong type of log to leave...Log unreadable, Trackable in cache requires DNA testing....
Steal caches if you must but for God's sake don't do that ****...literally.
