Geocaching:Batteries not included.

That worked out well.I wonder how many people hear about geocaching,grab a GPS and head out not knowing what to do with the cache once found.I have read a few post by beginners of this type.It would be a desaster if someone like my neighbor"whom I told about geocaching"decided to try it out and came home to show me his trunk full of treasure..

One thing I hope is that this case doesnt draw any negative attention to the game by the local govornment.Like them thinking that geocaching is going to start becoming a problem for the police or the courts.I also hope people involved in this case dont visit this site and read this thread,there is more than a few borderline vigilante remarks on it.Not good.

No sir,I am not drunk...my signal is bouncing.

Not if any of them have read this thread..lol

Geocachers do it with coordinates..

I say go ahead and close it down before someone actually puts a hit on the guy's head. Several people have danced all around it already. I will agree, go ahead and lock it. I will not agree that anyone was dancing close to suggesting a hit be placed on the guy. Although I may be easily talked into chipping in to have a couple of those big bags of popcorn dumped on his lawn. Anyone know how much poop a flock of pigeons can produce in a day? [/quote That's called vandalism. No, it's called a joke. There is no lightening this thread, is there? I tried to lighten it with a funny pic of Matlock and Columbo and got yelled at.

Hitting someone doesn't necessarily have any monetary harm but a simple apology is never the punishment for assault. The courts won't just ask him to pay restitution. The courts, if he's found guilty, will assess a fine. They need to make a buck to cover the "court costs". I am not talking about "hitting"or"assault".I am talking about the value of the stuff he stole.

Does anyone know if he has any prior convictions?

This may be a basic question,but.How much will the value of the things he stole weigh in to his possible punishment?Seems there wasnt alot of monitary value in the items found.Could he simply be made to make the victim or victims whole?

Thanx for the info,it might be somthing to mess with on my laptop when i learn a little more about it.sounds like you could use it to navigate if it were hooked to a laptop with some map sortware.

You are right.I dont want to be part of the problem.Hard not to get sucked in to the arguements sometimes.

uhh...thanx..a little over my head..but thanx.

My GPS has this feature but i am unclear what it is for,and if it is of any use to me.Any help or info appreciated.

DragonsWest i couldnt agree with you more..And I really love all the "armchair"lawyers..lol..I think they need to call Matlock!!

This was an interesting thread,unitil it got ugly with pointless arguing over something that no one here has any control of.Why are you arguing with each other?
