Not sure whose cache it was, but...

 

(From KCRA:)

 

VACAVILLE, Calif. -- Vacaville police are blaming an internet game for causing a bomb scare.

 

Police said that Callison School officials called them saying that a child told them they found a suspicious object in front of the parking lot of the school.

 

Officers said the incident happened in the 6200 block of Vanden Road at about 11:44 a.m. Saturday

Wow. It's hard to believe that somebody left a geocache that looked like a pipe bomb near a school. I hope there's more to this story than it seems. But this does support my theory that a child can find a Difficult 5 level cache faster than experience cachers can find a level 1.

Just wonder if police know all they have to is punch in coords at website and find out you was CO.
