I'm fairly new to Geocaching. The first time I found a "cache that wasn't
there" was when I found just the lid to a cache that had been muggled. I
decided it would be best to post a note to the cache listing and email the
owner. I goofed a bit by accidently picking "needs to be archived" instead
of just posting a note so *gln was notified as well. Even though I found
part of the cache, I didn't feel right posting a find. Others may feel, in
this situation, that they found part of it and it counts. I guess that is
their choice.
If I can't find a cache, I just assume I can't find it and post a Did not
Find for that cache. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it is found again
and then give it another try. I've heard of some cache's where someone
couldn't find it, and created a new one and placed it in the same area, then
posted a find. The original owner will come back, find his and theirs and
remove theirs and deny their find. Then those "finders" get irate about it.
I would probably help repair a cache (adding baggies, adding a log book if
old one is full, etc...) but I wouldn't just create one if I couldn't find
the one that is supposed to be there. In other words, I assume I just
didn't find it and post a Did Not Find.
