If I wanted a decoy at one of my caches I would leave one there.  |

| Unless the dude is being a cache maggot and stealing your stuff, I don't see anything to get worked up about. It is strange though. But until he actually becomes a thief, don't sweat it. |

I wonder if Surfer Joe is monitoring this thread and what he would think of this. Has anyone attempted to find the cache yet? Tooooo far away for me. _________________ King of the Jeff Gordon TB's!
They put that cache WHERE? |

| Ok, I am now convinced that this dude is getting ready for some kind of Halloween prank, and it might be a sock puppet that might be one of us. |

Yeah, where was the FTF party? It was just me and SID.
I was apprehensive about going after the cache but figured someone else would show up. I won't give anything away but it seems harmless enough. _________________ Tupperware doesn't belong in the kitchen! |

Maybe it got a bit blown out of proportion. Sharknose Bunnies' story was so compelling, I was starting to think (spuke) was some shadowy X-Files-esque organization plotting world domination. Guess it's just some random cacher with too much time on his/her hands. That is to say, even more time on his/her hands than the rest of us who are discussing it.  |

I'm guessing the more you guys talk about it here the more it's going to happen. These people (or this person) is looking for a show and you're giving it to them. _________________ Hmm... |

Ok I had to check on this cache and was not happy at what I found. The original log was replaced with what looked like a log from another cache. I now understand why people have been logging that there was something strange about the log. I deleted the strange note on the cache page and left one of my own.
I wish people would stop playing these silly games, this is no fun.  |

| (Spuke) logged on my Centennial Lakes 3 cache shortly after I published it. I figured it was somebody who thought that I was stupid for hiding it in the same spot as the previous one, as all (Spuke) said was "Boo". In response to rustynails' post about his cache, I was in the STF party and the log was already weird, and the FTF party had signed that log as well, so I don't know when the switch would have been made. It is really strange though. On a different note, I kinda want to get (Spuke)'s cache...anyone care to join me? |
