+klr4evr Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) Wonder if it's possible to get a member banned? I've got a local teen who with some friends have discovered caching and are going around stealing, vandalizing or removing TB's from them. Pretty well admitted to me they were doing it. So far two TB's stolen. Very frustrating. Edited May 7, 2022 by klr4evr 2 Quote Link to comment

Most locals hit all hides in the area, and for us they were all new. We'd mention DNF or NM, and the COs would find their caches missing. Others noticed caches missing after we logged. We went through $&#@* with all the harassment from "fellow cachers", and we were the subject of quite a few events. Those cerberus thieves... we should look into getting them banned... The other 2/3rds was in tears a lot, and wanted to quit this stupid hobby... Well, I caught the cache thief with an ammo can in his pack. Let his name (real and cacher) be known at all local cache groups. Odd that not a single person ever apologized to us. Go figure... 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I been caching for a while and I know how some geocachers are... assuming things. 1 Quote Link to comment

+TriciaG Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 In the meantime, if they're basic members, you could temporarily put all your caches as PM only until they get tired of their new "hobby". 2 1 Quote Link to comment
+MNTA Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 TB stealing is par for the course. Happens both with cachers, muggles, and 4 legged friends. They will go missing eventually Quote Link to comment
