+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 This cache page shows the account of my inadvertant brush with the law yesterday. I am sure the constabulary will be happy to know I am now safely back in Dorset and will not darken the streets of London again for at least a week BTW, it is a cracking cache thoroughy recommend it to all!

+The Mighty Shark Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 What a great tale to share Wendy. Sounds like something I would end up doing too...lol I can't believe you told them you were looking for aliens ....Scarey situation to be in at the time I'm sure but it made me smile when I read your log. Thanks for sharing your story. Quote
+Dorsetgal & GeoDog Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 I can't believe you told them you were looking for aliens ...believe you me, neither can I! I was so cacking it, that I was blurting anything out by that stage! I am frankly surprised I gave them the right name! Quote

+Tarot Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Hi D&G What a great story, it was such a good read. I’m glad it all turned out well and you got your things back. If you are a Podcacher listener, you should send them your story. They will have to reset the DWAB counter (Days Without A Bombscare) Regards Tarot Quote
+Jacobite Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Really funny log! I'm glad things turned out OK for you. Quote
+Geo-Gophers Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 That was a great read lol.... "looking for aliens" ..... would have loved to have seen the look on their faces when you told them that!!! Glad it all turned out ok for you though, and that you got everything back. Ali Quote
+ClareLouise Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Thanks for sharing that one!! Made me and my housemate chuckle a lot this morning... and a great looking cache! Now on my hitlist! CL xx Quote
+Cnois Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 what a great log! "I was looking for aliens", "Space Invaders!"... Oh, I love this story. I am also glad this happy end. Thank you for sharing your story Quote
+The Cache Hoppers Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 (edited) OMG Wendy!! It just goes to prove you should not be let out alone! That bit of paper an' all - it does look very incriminating to the untrained caching eye Looks a great cache too - I might have to make a special effort to get into the big smoke and have a crack at it.

+Stuey Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 The paper is the best bit.......... I'm so pleased for you that you got your bag back, you must have been panicking big time! Quote

+drdick&vick Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 As humerous as the tale may be it only shows that when in London you have to be ultra careful not to leave bags behind. Quote
+Renegade Knight Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 Man, I hate when that happens. Quote
+drdick&vick Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 what, when you leave a bag behind or when somebody like me makes that kind of statement Quote
+Renegade Knight Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 what, when you leave a bag behind or when somebody like me makes that kind of statement When you forgot your pack and go back to retrieve it and find the area blocked off and the bomb squad inspecting the bags contents for invasion plans and the rest of your terrorist Gx network.

+studlyone Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 (edited) Great story Wendy. So glad that it ended well for you and you got your bag back. I can just picture their faces when you blurted out I'm looking for Aliens..............Mmm we've got a right one here LOL. I hope caesar is over his limp BTW.

+mumbo jumbo Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Glad it all worked out in the end Wendy. Of course, it's not the only time you've encountered the rozzers on a caching day. <a href= "http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=ae386116-a6c1-40b8-a497-48595ee873b2">Part 1</a> and <a href= "http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=9f7b287a-2b3e-489a-bd4e-c1459ef71384">Part 2</a The common theme seems to be the absence of GeoDog! matbe there's a lesson to be learned there... mj Quote

In fact I was at an event today and saw two cyclists wearing fluorescent jackets and muttered, "Oh nooooo, not the rozzers, again" In fact t turned out not to be them, so all was well. Now I recall, the a rozzer stopped me two weeks into my caching career, at a cache in Hyde Park! Edited October 11, 2008 by Dorsetgal & GeoDog Quote
+Darac Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Don't worry, you won't be the first to have caught the police's attention on this very cache. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...a0-35ef97c44ac8 Shortly after this, the police contacted GAGB and there was a period of ensuring the security of caches within London. I suspect those pesky aliens have something to do with it... Quote
+Bambography Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 This was one of the best logs that has fallen into my inbox in recent months! I'm pleased that it all worked out ok, but that piece of paper is brilliant! Something totally innocent yet soooooo guilty in the wrong context! Thanks for sharing the experience!! Quote
+vw_k Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Fantastic story! Reminds me of the time I was spotted by an off duty policeman when I was dressed in black with a camoflage backpack searching for a cache in bushes in a church carpark! Quote
