Two Questions

[DarthJustice]

Okay, this morning I found my fourth cache. When I found it, I also found two items. One was a dollar and the other was a package of condoms.

 

Are condoms allowed in caches? I'm not sure. I have read on here people taking them since apparently they're not, so followed suit and I took them. I was just thinking though if I was really supposed to or not. If not, I'll go back and put them back. Can someone fill me in or point me to the rules where it says something about this?

 

On a related note, another question I feel stupid for asking. I did take the dollar as I said. So I want to be sure, am I supposed to leave something in return or is money on the same "level" as TBs and don't apply to that rule? Again, if so, I'll go back and do my thing.

 

You can probably tell I'm still very new to geocaching. If I'm going to play this "game", I just want to play it right and all.

If you really can't consider it family friendly - yes it should be removed from the cache. (thanks)

 

Money is generally considered a trade item and was likely left in trade for something else - so, yes you should leave a trade item of equal or greater value.

Okay, I'll try to locate something around my room worth at least a dollar and go back and leave it. Thanks.

The dollar could be a "Where's Bill" dollar. Need to check to see if it's on the where's bill website.

Just to be clear - even if it is a trackable "Where's George" bill - still ought to trade for it. Not exactly like a gc.com trackable item.

caches are to be "family friendly" so condoms are unacceptable. if you find them again, you should remove and dispose of them. children geocache with their families quite frequently.

You could put the condoms in an envelope and write "Prophylactics" on the outside. If the kids can read that big of a word, then they know what they are already

 

Just kidding - toss the condoms. A cache shouldn't be a segway to a 'birds and the bees talk'.

Although it isn't necessary, if I take something from the cache that shouldn't be there, (lighters, condoms, knives, etc.) I do try to leave a trade item. Helps keep the cache full.

All money found in geocaches should immediately be sent to me.
