Spotted on the BBC News website:

"CCTV operators called police when they spotted a man placing an object under a seat in the city's Whitefriargate in the early hours.

 

Officers said they found a "small device covered in camouflage material" under the bench.

 

It was identified as a being part of a Geocache game, where players track down online clues and hunt for hidden boxes using GPS devices."

Well written article. Nice response from the local LEO:

 

"I would suggest anyone who is planning to do to let us know who they are, where and when they are planning to place it, with pictures and a description of the container, so we can ensure there are no issues."
