Possible destruction of GeoCache

[+BellHousehold]

I was out walking the dog today and where we found GC3FZAB - Granny Mo's Tub a month or so ago they are now landscaping the area.

 

I couldn't see the hiding place of the GC anymore

No point in reporting it here!

Stick a note or a Needs Maintenance on the cache page

 

Edited to add:

Or send the cache owner a message

If local landscaping affects a hide, you should contact the cache owner to let them know as soon as possible. Only place a needs maintenance log when you have found the cache and know for sure it's in bad shape.

If the owner already knows a NM log is only going to agitate them.

But as the OP says that the place where the cache was hidden is nolonger there they're not likely to be able to find it and ought to be pretty sure it's gone.

 

I agree with Delta68, post an NM log, any owner who's going to get agitated about it must be easy to wind up, and an NM will also alert other possible finders that it might have issues.

OP has found the cache previously...

So knows where it is/was hidden.

 

NM is a good way to proceed.

NM sent to them.

Oh if only

Have these on a particular cache regularly - accompanied by DNF log !!!

I'd post NM if multiple people have failed to find a cache that's relatively easy. For all it might agitate the CO to get a NM log on their cache it will also warn other cachers who might go and look that there's a problem, rather than one person posting a DNF saying they can be sure it's gone.
