+Zyxistal Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I just learned that my first (and currently only...yes I've been slacking) cache hide was muggled (isn't this a right of passage or something). A fellow cacher went out today and found the cache, intact and with everything inside...including the s*** someone took in it. They then removed the cache, took it home, and started cleaning it up. Well I just got off the phone with this person and they not only cleaned up the cache (inside and out) but they offered to replace it with fresh trade items or hold it for me. Now I've met MANY awesome people while geocaching but to me this cacher has gone above and beyond and I'd like to thank them in a special way...but I can't think of how. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Quote
nonaeroterraqueous Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I'd give the person a new geocoin, at the least. Quote
+Zyxistal Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 I'd give the person a new geocoin, at the least. My wife and I discussed that but we couldn't find a 'thanks for cleaning the crap out of my cache' or a 'cache in crap out' coin. Quote
+Pork King Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) You could use THIS geocoin... edit: insert image for posterity Edited January 4, 2013 by Pork King Quote
Clan Riffster Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Pay it forward. It's really the best option. Quote
+niraD Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I've seen caches discarded in that situation. I haven't seen them cleaned. That's CITO above and beyond the call of duty. There's a micro CITO geocoin in the geocaching.com store. There are larger CITO geocoins elsewhere. Or maybe you could find out what their favorite restaurant is and treat them to a nice dinner.

+6NoisyHikers Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 On a side note - please consider relocating your cache. Usually when a person goes to that length to contaminate a cache, they will go back and do it again. Someone psychologically impaired knows where to find your cache if nature calls again We found a cache that had been peed in. We cleaned it up on site and put in back in place. The owner archived and removed it about a week later. Wasn't worth the hassle. Quote
+badger10 Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Does CITO stand for Cache In Turds Out now??? I also like the CCA geocoin! I also think a geocoin would be nice as a thank you. Quote
