    Cache blasted by bomb squad in Estonia

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted · Edited by jpbarr

    I just had a chat with one of the Estonain Geocaching website admins and it turns out that the cache owner did ask and had permission from Tele2 to hide it there and the private security that oversee the area did not think it was necessary for the bomb squad to be called. It seems like a huge case of either miscommunication between the police, or whoever called in the bomb squad and everyone else or they did not follow protocols of asking the company whether they knew what it was before calling in the bomb squad :(

     

    Also if you look at the video on the news site, they did not blow it up. The robot pulled it down and shook it open.

    Not sure why my package to Kini_ont did not arrive :( Let me know when I should send a replacement.

    If there were any sweets :) in the package Border Security maybe looking at it a little more closer and that would delay it so don't send a replacement yet.

    I always put sweets or chocolate in my packages but why would that hold them up at customs?

    Thanks to both of our senders, Kristjan was very suprised but I did manage to get a photo before the candy disappeared :D

    SEARCH LIST MISSION

    I have it ready to go as soon as I can get to the post office on Monday. Took forever to get it back from Estonian customs and I'll tell you, the box I originally sent it in was pretty beat up. Goodness knows where it went for this long and why it ended up coming back to me.

    A Quick Halloween Mission

    in Trackables

    Posted

    I enjoy taking part in these missions and many of us know on this side of the pond that 90% of mail passes through Germany, as it is a central hub for international mail coming into the EU, and that Germany has a bit of a problem getting mail to it's destination. Nothing we can do about it. So for me personally, if the odd coin does not arrive on my doorstep I don't worry too much. Upsetting though it is there is nothing to be done and I don't like for the sender to have to be out of pocket on a second coin either :D

    Hi all, some good news. I just got an email from the post office to say that the package has been found and is on it's way back to me :D Should be with me sometime next week :P

    Guess I will start looking for something cool and Christmasy to put in it :santa:

    Yes, many issues all over. I have a package I sent to Germany and it took a full month to get there :P I am sure a lot of it is to do with the recent problems in Paris and such. Worst case I will try and get the package sent back to me by the post office and then try again. Hopefully I can then send out for Christmas :D I really don't want this mission to stop as I have had so much fun with it :D
