russ1985uk Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Seeing as the sun was shining so nicely this weekend, I thought I'd head out and follow the relatively new "Tour by Cycle" series of geocaches - a 20km walk around Harpenden, Redbourne and Hemel Hempstead Industrial Estate. Unfortunately it seems someone else had the same idea, but wanted to spoilt it for use genuine geocachers! Find out more at http://bit.ly/cTP9qW Quote Link to comment

People like this usualy are not very dedicated, so will likely not continue long term. I wish something could be done, but without doing stakeouts (which would also likely not work), I don't know what you can do. Quote Link to comment

+TwoSox Trekkers Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 The CO(s), for one. Groundspeak for another, IF the OP feels certain enough that another cacher is behind it. I had a similar thing happen here in Seattle, where a cacher now banned was placing racist literature blaming African Americans for the AIDS epidemic. Groundspeak took action in that case.

+TwoSox Trekkers Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I can only imagine. Sadly, people are all-too-creative with destructive acts. Quote Link to comment

The Hardy Boys All joking aside, thats low to do that. I imagine the person who did this most likely has a hobby of there own. If there reading this I hope they think about how people could ruin there enjoyment and how they might feel in return. Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Yes, if he has an account then his actions should be reported to contact@Groundspeak.com They can cancel the account and make sure that IP Address can't be used to create a new one. We had an odd fellow around here years ago who called himself the Cache Crapper. You can imagine what he left in caches. After striking a number of caches over about 6 months he finally moved on... or a cacher caught him in the woods... we'll never know! Quote Link to comment
+TwoSox Trekkers Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 The Hardy Boys? I thought they retired. Very true, of course re: their own "hobby". As someone else said, hopefully they'll tire of it quickly. Or even better, Karma comes along and bites them in a sensitive area. Quote Link to comment

We aren't supposed to talk about how the Cache Crapper was rendered inert. Quote Link to comment
