A new *+*+*+* muggler at work

Post by Webguy » 30 April 08 9:24 pm

Seems there is a new muggler out there stealing caches. My Lithgow Zombie has been stolen by some *+*+*+* who calls them self the Green Grimy Muggle Squad.

These people sicken me that they go to the trouble of finding an out of the way cache and stealing it and just leave a laminated calling card.

KARMA comes around buddy!!

You are not the first for them, I know of one prior to your's being claimed by this mob. And you know, I find it very strange that they have geo-lingo down pat.....

Which one was that? Same area?

I know there are small groups of people like this in the UK that think it is their responsibility to remove all caches as they class them as litter. Similar to this idiot.

Don't you hate that. I enjoyed this cache and I certainly didn't leave the cache exposed to random passers by. The laminated card shows a lot of effort by another one of those people who can't tolerate anybody with different interests to themselves.

I won't say publicly as the cache owner hasn't mentioned it here yet, but it wasn't far from Richmond

If they are worried about littering, why leave a laminated calling card?

If it starts being a problem someone will bump into them on the trail sooner or later. Or we set up a nice juicy one for them and watch it!

Hey now that could be fun!


Could be the same type of people who insist on removing cairns out in the bush. Makes them feel like they are the first to ever discover a place!!!!!

I know a few things like that happened in the early days of CB. When particularly distateful people came on air, or insisted on jamming others a bit of direction finding would often happen and a bit of a visit that generally left them with cut antenna wires (or worse). Before I got into it, and only have one for 4WDing anyway. But heard the stories from friends who had used it in the early days.

If the same person muggles a whole lot you could probably get a rough feel for location by their centrepoint. But why go and muggle a cache that has been around for years? Bizarre.

Probably see you at the event on Saturday! Be nice to meet some locals.

I doubt it's a group of people. Sounds more like a male aged 35-45 years who has never got on socially with his peers. Probably never had a r**t and is feeling dissillusioned with society. AKA a first class LOSER :lol:
Well that's what my shrink made of it 8)

I spoke to my SHRINK today,
and that's my 15 Y.O. son.

The only synopsis, or is it prognosis, that he could come up with was:

It's also happening around Auckland ... and it's a bit nasty.
