Abandoned cache

[+FalseFruit]

Hello all,

There is a cache in a local park whose owner has not been maintaining it (last visit to GC. Com was in 2012.) this cache has,been known for its wet logs, which I've replaced over a few times, and recently, the cache was missing (I could not locate it). I would really like that spot to hide a cache of my own, as it is close to home and easy to maintain. What should I do?

Is the owner still active in caching? If so post a needs maintenance and contact them through messaging, maybe they will allow you to adopt it or will voluntarily archive it. Doesn't sound like they are active though if they have not logged in since 2012.

 

If they will not reply to maintenance requests or are no longer active, and you are sure it is missing post a "needs archived" log in the cache logs and that should alert a reviewer. Explain in detail in the log that the you are positive the cache is missing and the CO is not maintaining it and is not responding to maintenance requests. It should get archived and when it does put your cache in it's place since it is already gone.

 

We have two caches that are placed where other ones once were because we really liked the cache location but the CO hasn't been active in years and they got muggled. We also have three that we adopted from a cacher that could no longer maintain them; two are still there. Hope this helps.

Well. It looks as though your NA log was over-ruled by the reviewer. Four finds since he disabled it. Since the CO is missing, it will probably be archived in a month or so. But, I'm not into getting caches archived because I want the spot! If the cache needs maintenance, then log NM. I can find lots of places to hide caches. I don't need to steal someone else's spot.
