+BlackforestMarty Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Has this happened to anyone else? Be there villains in this game of ours? Probably a muggle thinking it to be funny - or - maybe water got into the cache and it only looks like the real stuff. It has never happened to me but I found some caches in the woods that got water in it and with a little bit of earth or soil it might get a color thats pretty similar to pee.

Mr.Yuck Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Has this happened to anyone else? Be there villains in this game of ours? Well, not necessarily our own villians, but often muggles. There was actually a serial cache defecator in my town. Two caches, a few hundred feet apart along the same abandoned rail line next a park. One in 2002, and the other in 2007. He's due to come out of hiding and strike again any time now. Doo-doo happens, I suppose. Quote Link to comment
+dorqie Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 A while ago there was a guy in my town that would take out all the swag and leave a bag of dog-poo. He thankfully seems to have gotten bored of it now, as I haven't heard of it happening for over a year. Quote Link to comment
Clan Riffster Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Funny thing is, the container is a film can. Did they at least leave a note explaining why?

+mediagato Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 It was a 30 cal ammo box, well hidden. This cache has had radios stolen that were part of the cache's theme... clearly marked NOT to take... this cache was not muggled. It wasn't the color... it was the SMELL. Terrible thing to do. I've archived it. Very disgusting. Quote Link to comment
+t4e Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 unfortunately there are a lot of sick/stupid, whatever you wanna call them, people out there we went to a cache just after it has been cleaned off by the CO, and from the logs sounds like someone decided to use the container as a condom its times like this that this quote comes to mind; "I love humanity, but I hate people." - Edna St. Vincent Millay Quote Link to comment

Something to the effect of, "I am leaving my liquid waste on this cache to express my discontent at you using the poster child of crappy containers!"? Did you read my entire post or just the line you referenced? The film can was just a stage with coords. The coords are on a label stuck to the inside meaning the cacher who found it in the bad state could still read the coords after dumping out the offending liquid. The final is a large lock-n-lock but they chose to relieve themselves in the tiny film can. Perhaps they didn't measure up for the final . For anything other than stages of a multi, you're right, film cans are crappy containers. Quote Link to comment

+DragonsWest Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 There are people who think they are funny, who never got past the mentality of 6 years old. While out caching this weekend in a beautiful state park I discovered two young men tearing down small trees and throwing them over the cliff for laughs. I asked them if they had some spraypaint so they could leave their names, too. They didn't understand. I said, you're not 4 years old anymore grow up. 'For what?' You're tearing apart the forest to throw bits of it off a cliff. Whatever for? They mumbled something about being sorry and I told them not to waste their apologies on me, but go apologise to the people who work for the park. Honestly. There's something fundamentally wrong with the self-centeredness of Americans. The spirit of the individual is to achieve great things, not to see how much stupidity one can get away with. It's like Family Guy is a documentary some times. I wonder if being caught and dressed-down for what they did will have any lasting impact or they laughed it off once safely clear of an adult.

+Team Black-Cat Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 There is a cache in our area that was used by a geocacher/teacher in a demonstration of geocaching. It fell victim to this nasty behavior a couple of times. The owner assumed that having the cache's location made known to so many "potential muggles" caused the problem. Quote Link to comment

No other nation on Earth has self centered fidiots as citizens. You read it wrong, the emphasis is on 'self-centeredness' Not that Americans have the corner on the market. The more I go out caching the more evidence I see of people who do not care a lick about anyone but themselves. Without them the CITO would be the stuff of science fiction/fantasy. If graffiti were non-existent then spray paint sales would be half what they are. If people wouldn't unload their trash, broken furniture or defunct appliances on backroads, more roads would be open to the general public. The word 'social' is bandied about like an epithet, where were people to accept more social responsibility it would be a cleaner, less ugly world. I still have memories of city streets piled with so much discarded items and trash in Flint, Michigan, a car couldn't make it down them. Not exactly the sort of place I'd want to hide a geocache, let alone live. What compels someone to do that? Not too much different from the kids I caught tearing down small trees in the Forest of Nisene Marks on Sunday. It didn't even seem to occur to these kids what they were doing was wrong. Who is supposed to teach them values if their parents do not? I've certainly found caches with the stink of urine, though usually I expect as the result of a dog marking its territory - opening an ammo can and doing that, well, that takes a special brand of antisocial behavior. Too easily can I imagine whoever did it thought they were being funny and their sole enjoyment derived from such behavior is the greater good. Quote Link to comment
+Chokecherry Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Someone once urinated in the first stage container of one of my multis. Funny thing is, the container is a film can. It hurts my brain just trying to understand the thought process of that individual. I can't even pee in a UA cup well... I can't imagine trying to pee in a film container. In this world there will always be people that just want to spoil fun and other people's property. I lost a set of rose bushes one year to the neighbor's kid snowmobile when he decided it was ok to use my driveway to access his yard. Same kid also cut a large hole in my brand new chain link fence right after I put it up. Other kids from that family caused various other damage to property problems. Do I think they were inherently bad or selfish people? No. I think they were dumb and misguided people who couldn't know any better because they had absolutely no one in their lives to teach them any better. I couldn't hold them to a standard I knew they couldn't reach because they had no understanding of social things like that. That being said after a few run ins with me they did learn some boundaries before moving. Quote Link to comment

+ADTCacheur Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I must admit, for the film canister they must have been trying to annoy. It takes some skill to do that, and what's the point of peeing in a film canister instead of the ground if not to annoy? I bet if these are geocachers, they're the same ones who falsely log TBs.

AZcachemeister Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I have frequently felt the desire to do so, but have (so far) managed to resist the urge. If it's a lame cache, doing so only punishes those who look for it, not the hider. Quote Link to comment

+Howell13 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I wonder if being caught and dressed-down for what they did will have any lasting impact or they laughed it off once safely clear of an adult. With the right kids it definitely will. It's easy to look at a kid doing something stupid and know now that it's stupid. I'm sure if we all had a documentary of our first 20 years and we were forced to watch it you would be yelling at the screen multiple times. Even the most mature and respectable kids can end up doing something that is seemingly devoid of all logic. It just happens, kids do stupid stuff and they don't even know why, then they look back and think "wow that was dumb, I really shouldn't do that ever again". I know for a fact that being called out for something I was doing (whether intentionlly or out of ignorance) by somebody I didn't now was quite embarrassing and made a lasting impression.

sdarken Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I once found a cache that was constructed from a urine sample container. It was full of yellow pee-like liquid. Unscrewing the lid revealed the log in a separate isolated part of the container. I thought it was pretty funny. As I recall it was hidden near a hospital. More on topic with the thread, I found a cache that had been muggled by someone who claimed to be part of a nude hiking club. He claimed he had opened the Playdoh that had been left as a trade item, and rubbed his privates in it. Perhaps that's the real reason Playdoh shouldn't be left in caches - nothing to do with animals thinking it is food. Quote Link to comment

+mchaos Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I had a cache out once that was a metal wall socket blank with magnets. I placed it in a parking lot on a lamp post. It was one of my first hides. One day I got an email from another cacher. He said that the cache was missing and some one had left a note. I went to look for it and on the lamp post in sharpie marker it said, "Sorry, I took your geocache thingy." Now I pondered this for a while. If some one wanted it, what could they possibly do with it. And if they were just taking it, why leave a note on a lamp post? Some muggles are just tool's I guessed it was teenagers, as there was stupid tagging on the lamp post in sharpie and on some of the other posts. I can see teenagers doing stuff like urinating or defecating in caches etc because its a juvenile thing to do. I would hope it wouldn't be a grown person. Then again there are some sicko's out there.

+AuntieWeasel Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I had to do a 24-hour urinalysis once. You know, where you save all your pee for analysis. They gave me a special bottle and everything. When I brought the sample in to the nurse, I remarked how difficult it was, because the opening on the jug was so small. She stood there holding it with this look on her face and says, "you weren't supposed to go directly into the jug." All I'm saying is, you can be pretty sure all these pee vandals are male.
