+Bear and Ragged Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 It is possible to have Found logs older than your caching account, if you start a new account (eg team split) As for finding a cache so long before publishing... Quote Link to comment
+Simply Paul Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Oh good, a witch hunt. It could be a number of things. A logging error, for example. Rather than naming and shaming, perhaps an email to them..? Quote Link to comment
+germanybert Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 It could be that he/she is a psychic future cacher. Once went I was on a cache hunt to get a FTF and right as I was about to find it a person just pop up out of nowhere. I was completely surprised and ask them where they came from. They told me that they saw this cache being placed in the future so used their special time travel abilites to come and search for the cache and get the FTF. They ran over, found the cache, signed the logbook, said some mystical word, and POOF they were gone. I got home and went online to log the cache and sure enough....they had logged their find already and it was six months before the cache was published. I didn't think that was very fair but what could I do? Quote Link to comment

team tisri Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 http://coord.info/GL6FB624 Found the cache before the cache was A. Placed and B. before they started caching And yes I know it should be their and not there in the title but I cannot edit that bit Before they started caching is a good trick, but then it could be a team splitting. Finding a cache before it was placed is physically impossible. If you mean finding a cache before it was published, I've seen it happen myself. A caching friend of mine from the US visited London and found a cache, four days before it was published. So not only did he get FTF, it was an international FTF. When he described it to me I assumed it was one I'd already found but it turned out to be a new cache so I got 2TF, also four days before it was published. Quote Link to comment
Copepod Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Could it be confusion over American month/day/year format? Quote Link to comment
+Original A1 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Could it be confusion over American month/day/year format? Could well be. The first four are dated 5/4/2008, 5/9/2008, 5/4/2009, 5/4/2010, so apart from No.2, there seems to be a pattern emerging. I suspect they were all found on 5/4/2010 and he/she got confused. Doesn't seem much point in bumping up the stats on 17 finds... Quote Link to comment
