+arcticcatmatt Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I recently read about a cache that someone found that was filled with urine and a note that said "sign this log if your a butthead"... I want to hear of the other bad things people have found. I am guessing that this mostly happens when a muggle discovers the cache. And this is the first time I have heard of something bad. The certain cache I am talking about was hidden in a playground area somewhere. I would love to catch someone doing that. I hope we never have to get to the days where we have to set up a "trail cam" (used for finding deer) to keep an eye on our caches. Quote Link to comment
+Jennifer&Dean Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Expired Pills. Expired "Morning After" pills in a sample package. Left by someone who thought it would be funny to pepper caches with things like these. Ick. Also- Paper towels used as toilet paper exchanged for the contents of a TB Depot cache. Ick!!!! -J Quote Link to comment
+Team Cotati Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Is this considered bad? If it was bad you wouldn't have posted it would you? Quote Link to comment
+smgkag Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 We recently found two rusted Xacto knives in a cache. A couple of months ago my five year old got his personal FTF--and found a comic book depicting drug use, murder, and "walking dead." Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I like to play a joke on cache owners and fill the container with shaving cream. Quote Link to comment
+andersonranchero Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 WH, just wondering Is that your signature item? It is green. Quote Link to comment
+hoovman Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I once found some nicotine gum marked "keep away from children". Quote Link to comment
+reveritt Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Is this considered bad? I recommend the product in question. It is a legitimate personal hygiene product with a rather unusual marketing strategy. Quote Link to comment
+Scoobie10 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Several months ago I found an adult...umm....."toy" left in a cache that has a 1/1 rating therefore attracting cachers with kids. Way bad form. Scoob Quote Link to comment

+geospyder Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 Last month I snagged a few caches in Luxembourg while on vacation. Two had packages of condoms and one had a tampon. All these were new and unopened. Just seemed strange to find those items in a cache. Quote Link to comment

+Tidalflame Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 A lot of unopened, still in plastic, hypodermic needles. Now THAT is creepy. Some of the other ones were a bit bad, but needles? That's downright f----d up. Quote Link to comment
+Corp Of Discovery Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 A heaping, steaming pile of #2 (scroll down to Nov. 28, 2003). The idiots even signed the logbook. Good thing they left it seperate from the cache, that way I could sign it too. Quote Link to comment
+arcticcatmatt Posted June 7, 2005 Author Share Posted June 7, 2005 what did the log book say? Thats horrible Quote Link to comment

+RoyalRed Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Found a cache in Delaware filled with crap. Another Geocacher was at the cache as I walked up and he announced to me that someone had filled it with feces but that he had dumped it all out. I could see that! Then he says that there wasn't too much on the log book. He tries to hand the log book to me so I can sign it. NO WAY DUDE...don't need a find that bad! Quote Link to comment
+The Chaotic Order Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 ...Then he says that there wasn't too much on the log book. OMG! That's too funny! Quote Link to comment
+Tidalflame Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I've been considering bringing along a couple pairs of Latex gloves for caching... it's sounding like a better idea all the time! Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I wish I had had a pair of gloves yesterday for a very cleverly hidden micro. Only problem, it is in a telephone pole and I think the pole had just been resprayed with creosote . . . Eweeeeuuu! Stinky! Quote Link to comment
+Brian - Team A.I. Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 I found 2 WWII-era ammo clips (no, not magazines) each containing 5 rounds of live ammo. The earliest date on any of the brass is 1943. I removed them from 2 caches due to safety concerns, but I couldn't bear to get rid of them due to their age. They're sitting about 2' to my left as I type. Quote Link to comment
+Tidalflame Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 That's definitely a safety issue, but on the other hand, it's pretty cool too. Quote Link to comment
+Isonzo Karst Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 fire crackers - in a cache in a state park with a short list of DON'Ts for cache goodies - basically anything flammable, alcohol, or batteries. So in one cache, firecrackers and in the other AAs. Quote Link to comment

+Deliveryguy428 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I found a lighter once and it turns out to be a TB that was written up in TC's so I left it in the cache. Quote Link to comment
+briansnat Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I am glad that this list isn't longer.. Heck, with 172,000+ active caches out there, you're going to get a bozo now and then who puts something inappropriate in a cache. It seems that 90 percent of the time its an accidental fider and not a geocacher who is putting this stuff in the caches. Considering the number of caches out there, the list here is pretty short and that's good. Quote Link to comment
+treasure_hunter Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I would have to say the worst thing I've found in a cache would be LIVE AMMUNITION that would be just great for a small kid to get a hold of. I mean who the heck carries .223 shells in thier back pocket and gets to the cache and says " hmm I sure would like to have that TB, oh wait it got some .223 shells I can trade for it!"

+Sevateem Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 I went to one of my caches to get a T/B to take from NY to Mich. and found two dead fish that had been in there for over a week. Everything else that was any good including the T/B was gone. The idiot even signed the log book and left a phone #. Lately around here we have been finding $1 store knifes that are on the no-no list. At least they are new. Quote Link to comment

RandLD Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 (edited) Only bad thing we've found in a cache -- cigarettes. Easy cache, kid-friendly. Didn't think something like this should've been in there. (Don't know that there's a specific provision against them, unless you consider them "drugs" ..., but still not a good idea especially in a cache like this!)

We were very unhappy to find a piece of XXX (adult) candy, in the cache. We aren't prudes, but COME ON PEOPLE! What was someone thinking????? Kids go to these caches too!! Use your brain, this IS a family sport!! Thanks for the cache, it was a good hide. Sorry for the disgust, XXXX&XXXXXXX Quote Link to comment

+GibsonCRG Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Worst thing we've found so far was a log page that had been muggled with horrible obscene messages to all geocachers. Hey, at least they didn't trash the cache. As we go paperless, I checked the recent logs, and found that prior finders had mentioned the naughty messages, but the owner hadn't been by to clean it up. We weren't sure if it was proper etiquette, but since the page was all by itself we were able to remove it without removing anyone's legitimate logs - so we removed it, packed it out and destroyed it. Lots of kids go to this cache, and we didn't want them to find that kind of language. Other than that, the worst thing has been poison ivy all around the cache. Quote Link to comment
+arcticcatmatt Posted June 13, 2005 Author Share Posted June 13, 2005 found a beer unopened that a muggle put in one of the oldfarts caches that has since been disabled. log said found your stupid cache and left a beer dragon clan I have been to a few caches where I told my girfriend "I hope the last finders left a cold 6 pack in this thing!!!! I am dieing!" I have never heard of a cache that had a theme that wasn't approiate* I imagine that there are some out there that say "This isn't a cache for your kids! Contents may not be kid friendly" Quote Link to comment
