Everyone is different.  I understand why you might want to log the cache in San 
Juan. You went through the effort of finding the cache, probably traveled a 
great distance and due to circumstances beyound your control, you were unable 
to retrieve the cache.   

But for me and my own personal rules, I have to find the cache.  If someone or 
something prevents me from finding the cache, then I didn't find it.  I don't 
see any point to log a cache that I didn't find.  

A cache on park bench probably requires searching when muggles aren't present 
or can be maybe when they are distracted.  Taking a shortcut to claim the 
cache, because of pedestrian traffic or timing is against my rules.

    I guess I'm one of the "bad" cachers out there.  A couple of weeks ago 
while in San Juan I went to a cache on a park bench only to find 2 people 
enjoying their lunch while sitting on top of the cache.  I hung around there 
hoping they would leave, but they looked planted on the bench.  I took my 
picture in the area and logged it as a "find". I figured it was better than 
compromising the cache location by reaching between their legs ( and maybe 
getting punched or shot ).  You can throw rotten tomatoes at me the next time 
you see me.
