And to think that the National Park Service figures geocachers are one of the
biggest problems they have to face....
On a more practical note, make sure you're not stocking your caches with sugar.

Ranger Ben Hansel came upon a truck parked in the roadway exit of the Chestoa
view overlook with its lights off on the evening of January 23rd. He stopped to
check it and found that it was occupied by a naked man covered with baby oil
who had a pair of women?s underwear at his feet. Hansel asked for
identification, then noticed what he believed to be a crack pipe in the
driver?s side handle compartment. When Hansel reached for the pipe, the driver,
Marvin Buchanon, grabbed and crushed it, cutting his hand on the broken glass.
Buchanon then attempted to start the truck and drive off, but Hansel pulled the
keys from the ignition. A struggle ensued. Hansel ordered Buchanon to keep his
hands on the steering wheel, but Buchanon refused to comply and kept reaching
under the seat. Hansel used OC spray on Buchanon, then handcuffed him. Hansel
searched the vehicle and turned up pornography, drug paraphernalia, and several
suspected narcotics, including crack cocaine, several different unidentified
pills in plastic bags, and sugar tablets in small tin boxes that may be LSD.
Buchanon was treated for lacerations and the effects of the OC spray. Ranger
Brian Stackowicz assisted with transporting the prisoner to a local jail, where
charges were filed. Hansel was not injured in the incident.
