Coon_and_Friends Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Me and my girlfriend are about to go on our first hunt and are pretty excited. Quick question though: what do you tell people that are watching you snoop around in the dark?? Ever get any upset property owner confrontations? Thanks and we look forward to learning more about this! Quote Link to comment
+coman123 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Tell the truth, you might convert a muggle. as for being confronted, over 3000 finds and no major issues. If it looks like private property, I avoid it. Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Don't look suspicious. Be bold!! Act confident and just go find that cache. Behave as if it is your job to go caching and you belong there. Bring a clipboard and sound and act official. Grab the cache, sign the log, put it back and move on. Quote Link to comment

If you are approached tell the absolute truth about what you are doing. Quote Link to comment

Quick question though: what do you tell people that are watching you snoop around in the dark?? Ever get any upset property owner confrontations? Thanks and we look forward to learning more about this! You really shouldn't have any problems with upset property owners. Per the guidelines, permission should have been obtained from the property owner or manager before placing a cache there. So they should already know there's a cache there and expect people to come looking for it. If by chance you are confronted by a property owner who is upset by your presence, it's a sure bet that permission was not properly obtained. If that turns out to be the case, first I would apologize to the property owner and explain that the cache should not have been placed without their knowledge. After all, going on someone else's property without permission is trespassing. I would then contact the cache owner and advise him to disable the cache so no one else goes looking for it.

Coon_and_Friends Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Well it was a bust! The cache should have been in a parking lot right down the road from us. Turns out that the whole parking lot is fenced in for construction and not accessible! Oh well, going to look for more this weekend. Thanks for the replies Quote Link to comment

+Brooklyn51 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Keep in mind that you should never have a reason to disassemble anything or dig up anything. Caches can be very very well hidden but you should never have to destroy something to find it. If you find yourself on the verge of doing something along those lines, you're not in the right place. If someone asks you what you're doing, especially someone of the law enforcement persuasion, be truthful and respectful. Oh and have fun! Quote Link to comment

+elwayfan446 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I have been signed up for awhile but just went for the first time with my boys last weekend. We loved it and are already hooked. Going out for several hours this weekend as well. We did run into a Muggle at one cache last weekend. I think we may have interested him in it too! Quote Link to comment
