+cincol Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi All There has been a sudden increase in the number of muggled caches in Qatar recently - 5 that I am aware of in the past month. Out of 60 that is nearly 10%. Has a similar trend happened in the UAE and Saudi? Happy caching in this lovely weather. cincol Quote Link to comment
M&Ms Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 In Saudi, we have seen a slight increase in the number of caches being trashed but not to the extent as to make us exceptional or cause concern. One of the problems we do face is that when a cache is found, the finder searches through the contents and then discards the cache without returning it. Of the things stolen from our caches, more often than not it is the container! Quote Link to comment
+tliuska Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 It is really sad to see this happening. I've seen number of caches trashed as well, sometimes due to natural forces (e.g. baboons) or sometimes due to muggles scattering contents around. What makes it more problematic is that for example here in Saudi some of the cache owners for example might not be staying anymore in Kingdom, which makes the maintenance quite problematic. Thus I think it would be good idea for cachers in the area to have some basic cache maintenance items with them when going to rarely visited caches. Anyways, happy caching to everybody in the region!
