AlexGreen Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 One of my caches SURPRISE! (GC30YBT) started getting DNF logs. After some investigating and some very helpful cachers I found a different ammo box hidden near the correct location for my cache that contained my caches logbook. Someone had swapped a large repainted ammo box for a smaller one, and hidden it down a different hole that required a retrival tool. The rehiding in the wrong place I can understand, but why would someone change the ammo box for a smaller one? If they wanted to steal it they're the most considerate non-theives ever, and if it was the maintainence fairy how did I earn such favour. Thoughts?

+Isonzo Karst Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Someone swapped out a container of mine. Took an ammo can and left a big food container (pretzel jar, maybe). It was camo painted and swagged up pretty good. I guess they wanted/needed an ammo can and figured that was one way to get it. Whoever took your big can and left a small can was thinking along the same lines, I guess. At least they took something and left something =:-) with the usual slight degradation on the take and leave. Quote Link to comment
+Griff Grof Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 What a mystery Seems like a great cache in a cracking spot anyway though Quote Link to comment
+mikenjess Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Perhaps someone damaged your original ammo can, felt guilty and replaced with the best one they could find. Very odd. Quote Link to comment
+the wackybacky tiler Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 talking of changed containers i was wondering if anyone knows what a PICO container/cache is. Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Well according to the SI units pico is the next order of size down from nano, so I would expect its going to be about the size of a pea - quality (or maybe not) Quote Link to comment
AlexGreen Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 A quick google would suggest Martybartfast (love the h2g2 reference by the way) is correct. Super small caches. Not ny style at all. Quote Link to comment
+pklong Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) Is it possible that it somehow got mixed up with the premium member only cache also named Surprise! by Cats-Eyes that is very close to it? Cache number is GCHAMY Philip Edited August 10, 2012 by pklong Quote Link to comment
AlexGreen Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 Maybe. I'm not a premium member, so have never been to find that cache. They weren't switched around though, my logbook and cache contents, just in a different container and hidden in a slightly different place. Quote Link to comment
