I have found that timing/weather is key. I live in NYC, and today between 7am and 11am found 10 caches. All of the 'muggle-heavy' spots are usually dead before or after working/tourist hours. Other than that, I just do my searching without caring who is around. Manhattan is full of tourists and residents/workers who are too caught up in the hussle and bussle to be bothered with someone who appears to be inspecting the architecture of a fence - but this may be quite different in your city. I find that the size of the cache also determines how much stealth is involved. A nano-cache can be grabbed and/or put back with muggles around and they wouldn't find it even if they decided to investigate the cache area. Think about how many times you know exactly where a cache is and you can't even find it. The general public, for the most part, would not realize that a nano attached to a fence was something out of the ordinary. I try to be more stealthy with bigger caches, and usually more so on the return than the grab. By the time I've grabbed, walked away and signed, the muggles that saw me are gone. I'm more concerned with the people who see me put it back. I recently had to grab a micro attached to a water fountain and there was a guy sitting right next to it. I sat nearby for about 10 minutes and then casually walked up to him, asked if he had a light, and snatched the cache all at once. On the way back he was still there so I just pretended that I was trying to get a drink of water.

It's 8:25am and I've already racked up 3 caches in the financial district. Looking for a fellow hunter to walk around with. Send me a message. Leland x
