SoHotImCool Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) This one I would hope, would have a definite answer somewhere. A few years ago, I went to my birthplace, Newmarket, to do a spot of caching. I did 5 specific caches, GC81QBD, GC67166, GC81Q9M, GC6JKH2 and GC5MEMT. Today as I was planning my next adventure, I thought I'd see how some of those caches had fared since I found them. I found 4 of the 5 had been visited by a very recently joined cacher (April 23rd, 2022), called cppta. Their logs leave a lot to be desired, with them describing one of the caches as "pretty sh*t" (GC5MEMT) and simply putting "chucked" on another (GC81QBD), suggesting they've muggled it. Now I don't normally kick up about things, but as someone who has had their caches muggled before, this boils my p***. Would anyone know how to report a cacher like this, and what you can do about them? For the record, I will be pm'ing the CO of the one described as chucked by this cacher, in case it's actually missing and they haven't seen the log. Anything else I can do? Thanks!

+Jayeffel Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) You kind of just did, but you may look under Help. You might contact the Reviewer in your area using the email contact path, explain what you did here and hope . I am not sure if they can block the cacher effectively, they could open another cache name and use that. Another option but a too bit late is to make them Premium. Hopefully the cacher will get tired of playing gamers and go somewhere else. Sorry to hear. Edited May 21, 2022 by Jayeffel 1 Quote Link to comment

I have PM'd the CO of the cache which was described as chucked, and they're going to go out and check it when they get the chance. It's a shame that people can't let others get on with a simple hobby in peace, without destroying other people's hard work and behaving like a dick. Quote Link to comment
+Jayeffel Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I looked but not find an easy path under Help to assist. Some time it is just a passing fancy and they move on. Were these caches fairly easy to get to and find? 1 Quote Link to comment
SoHotImCool Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 Easy to get to, yes. Easy to find? Not really. Three were very well hidden, one was practically visible as you walked past it. Quote Link to comment

Thought there should be some way more direct. 1 Quote Link to comment
