+briansnat Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I found a cache recently that had a roll of dental floss in it. What are people thinking? Don't they realize that some child might find the cache,take the floss, play with it, wrap it around their neck and accidently strangle theirself? When that happens it will be the end of this sport.

That requires Bria...err the person to actually FIND the cache. I found a micro the other day with a piece of fools gold in it. This is SOOOO dangerous! What if a kid found this and threw it into the street, hitting a car windshield and shattering it? That could startle the driver into loosing control of his car and crashing into a nuclear power plant. Oh the horrors! Or, what if someone pretended it was REAL gold, and used it to swindle some retired person out of their life savings?

+Roadster Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 This weekend I found a toy plastic knife that’s about the length of three dimes lined up in a row. I immediately removed it from the cache, what IF A KID FOUND that in there and then went to a 7-11 store and robbed it using the knife, the 7-11 worker wouldn't be able to tell if it was real or not. Then the kid would use that money to buy marbles or worse yet Poke' Man cards from the kid on the corner and we all know what happens when someone buys Poke' Man cards... your supporting terrorist! By removing that one knife I felt like I have done my part on stopping crime. No one is listening until you make a mistake. Quote Link to comment

Northern-Lights Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 I'd spent hours and hours putting together a wonderful night cache in one of our local game areas. But.....as fate would have it....as I was putting the final pieces of it in place....I found a turkey feather!! Well, because of the wonderful posts here about the dangers of feathers and possible allerigic reactions, I immediately pulled all my stuff down and simple made this a virtual. Now nobody can get hurt. Wow, that was a close call!! Earth First!!! We'll cache the other planets later!! Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted March 24, 2003 Share Posted March 24, 2003 if they are not stuffed to the brim then there is air in there, and we all know that pollution is in the air, that can kill ya. What about chemical warfare? That might get in the air. Or worse. Suppose the last person was smoking a cigarette at the cache, not only the smoke might linger in the air in the cache, but the butane from the lighter they lit the cigarette with could be there. If you must cache please, hold your breath, or use scuba gear. Rate all caches a 5 at least. Or at least post if you left smoke in the cache. Cache you later, Planet I feel much more like I do now than when I first got here. Quote Link to comment

+TEAM 360 Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 So I guess leaving 4 lbs. of C4 for the next geocacher is out of the question? Just kidding, don't all go off half cocked now... Quote Link to comment
swanlakers Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 I think that the C4 is a problem (unless the cache is under a bridge next to a military reservation) But what about rat poison? (or does it violate the food rule?) Swanlakers Quote Link to comment

Ok ok, kinda corny but that one made me laugh out loud,,, on a serious note though, I did once find an AOL disk in a cache. This is a hazard if i ever saw one. That sharp edge around the outside is one thing, but what about that shiny surface? Could accidently be held the wrong way making the sun reflect off and blinding your fellow cacher causing to him to stumble and fall into poison ivy. Then there's that little hole in the middle, might be tempting to try to put a finger or some other part of your anatomy through it. Going to the ER to have an AOL disk removed after it became stuck,,,, i dont think so! To lesson risk and remove any temptation, i promptly removed the offending disk from the cache!!!

+cachecrazies Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 OK - this convinces me! After reading this - all us geocachers have got to be certifiable! Waiting for my straightjacket to be delivered now! BUT - - just getting to these caches is SO dangerous! First you're out on the road with all the traffic (crazy drivers & pollution too); then you either wander around on 1. urban streets, 2. deserted parks or 3. uncivilized woods and forests. So - 1. More traffic & bad guys 2. Muggers, rapists, etc., 3. Bugs, snakes & assorted wildlife and splinters, etc. Yep - we just gotta make this whole sport illegal! It's just too dangerous! Just think how much more fun this will be when we're wearing our funny white jackets! Quote Link to comment
