Thanks Keystone, for your response. I was just curious, as this kind of cache was new to this area. I know you folks have enough to do with all the different regulations for the various land management agencies you have to deal with, without worrying about whether the local Sears or WalMart manager has granted permission to place a cache. Although I doubt if most of these caches are placed with permission, I'll give the owner the benefit of the doubt and cache with caution.

Oh, PLEASE tell me that it wasn't in northern NJ. Except for Bergen County, your turf is safe.

The question wasn't whether or not it was a commercial cache, but rather was permission required to place a cache on private property, i.e. a shopping center parking lot.

This is pretty much what I expected. The reviewer assumes that permission has been obtained. So the onus is on the cache owner. If someone places a cache in a shopping center parking lot the reviewer expects that permission has been granted. I would like to hear an opinion from a reviewer.

So the question should go to the reviewers/approvers. If a cache was submitted that was clearly in a shopping center parking lot would you ask if permission was received or would you assume that it wasn't necessary since it was a private place of public accomodation?

Last weekend I found my first shopping center lampost micro. It was early on a Sunday morning before the stores were open so there were very few people around. As I was lifting the lamp post skirt I envisioned myself before the mall security trying to explain geocaching. My next thought was,"Well its on private property so the cache owner must have asked for permission". But did he? I know that there are thousands of caches hidden this way, but very few near me. (The cache owner thought that this was a unique hide.) So to return to the original question, what is geocaching.com's position on parking lot caches? Do they need permission from the property managers? If not, why not? I know these caches are popular with a segment of the geocaching population. I don't want to eliminate or stop them, just open this up for discussion.

Congratulations Andy Bear! Here's to another 500.

Congratulations! Looking forward to caching with you again.

congratulations!!

Congratulations Kane. Here's to 300 more.

I'm planning on being there to help celebrate this milestone cache.

Put me down for 2 if there are any still available. Thanks

I'm on the way to the post office with: World of Geocaching version 1 and 2 Germany Iowa Maine MnGA

Congratulations!

This is very sad news. My deepest condolances to the family.

Congratulations. 1K isn't that far away.

Once again this site is having problems placing orders. I was unable to order the satellite series or the Cachehunters 2 coin, but the geocache series was available. In the middle of placing the order, the site was closed for maintenance.
