Re: RIP Sven
Oh no. I feel for his partner and children. He loved geocaching, you could tell that. I'm going to miss him.
Groundspeak have disabled all his caches.
"Pending further guidance from family, this geocache listing has been temporarily disabled by Groundspeak."
That was pretty fast...

Re: RIP Sven
OMG, this is such sad news
I have been following his videos for a long time too. The inspiration for a lot of my caches are Sven.'s videos, so this is very sad news.
May he rest in peace

Re: RIP Sven
Horrible news, he seemed like a nice guy based on the few messages we exchanged.
Re: RIP Sven
I hope this has nothing to do with the contents of one of the last videos he posted of himself about a month ago... the rant in the car.
Strange instant reaction from groundspeak too...
May the hiding guidelines in heaven be a little more relaxed, and the GPS signal always perfect. RIP.

Re: RIP Sven
I too commented about this in my post. I wouldn't call the GS reaction "strange" as CamBendy did, but I do think GS "temporarily disabled" Sven's caches with unseemly haste (as in one day after the poor guy had passed away).Big Matt and Shell wrote:How so?CamBendy wrote:Strange instant reaction from groundspeak too...
Re: RIP Sven
Yes - the haste - that's how so.
I understand there was a less than cordial relationship between Sven and the local reviewers.
