Was a puzzle or multiple stages involved?Ĥ. Did the cacher make the attempt without the knowledge the cache was archived?ģ. Did the cacher have a reasonable expectation of making the find had the cache actually been there?Ģ. The thing that amazed me in both instances was the fact that they admitted in the log that they were claiming a find with out actually finding the cache.ġ) Has anyone else noticed this sort of behaviour?Ģ) Would you allow this on your own cache? Edited Novemby Keith WatsonĢ) Would you allow this on your own cache?Īllow a find for not finding a cache to stand depends on a number of things really (unless you are an absolute purist).ġ. (Don’t bother trying to find the log, it has been turfed.) I deleted the log because I didn’t want to send the message that this was acceptable on my caches.
The cache was not there, the listing archived, the cacher claimed a find, even though they clearly stated in the log that they did not find the cache. Recently I received notification on one of my own caches that a similar thing had happened. Their excuse for claiming the find was that they biked a great distance to the cache and they deserved it. They explained in the log that the cache was not there and the listing had been archived. A few years ago I noticed a log for a cache where the finder claimed a find for the cache even though they did not find it.
