Geocaching Shuts Down British Town 282

DaveAtWorkAnnoyingly writes "Many geocachers will be thinking twice when planting their treasure in an urban space as one geocacher found out in England after the police cordoned off the center of a small West Yorkshire town and the Bomb Squad was called in. From the article: 'It was a normal busy Friday morning in the small West Yorkshire market town of Wetherby when someone working in a café spotted a man acting a bit suspiciously on the street. He appeared to have a small plastic box in his hand and after fiddling with the container he bent down and hid it under a flower box standing on the pavement. He then walked off, talking to somebody on his phone.'"

    It didn't, and the police even said they have no real problem with it, but would appreciate being told about caches in urban areas so as to avoid this sort of misunderstanding in the future.

    Either that or they just want to cheat

    Yes, they have already seen American werewolves. Warevolves are something new :P

    The dreaded Tupper Warewolf is the worst. In spite of what they think, these beasts do not know how to party...
    They can however keep food miraculously fresh for days!

    So, if you have something to hide, you shouldn't do geocaching. But, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about!

    I can't imagine Geocaching would be very fun if you had nothing to hide!

For God's sake, stop researching for a while and begin to think!
