From the cache owner:
As one of the members of TeamEmtFireKids & the member whom placed the cache
originally @ the Titusville Walmart, permission was granted last winter by the
Store Mgr to place the cache.
Can I blame PSP, or the Erie Bomb Squad for blowing it up? In reality no, they
were doing their job. I respect what they do, understand what they do & why
they do it. As I come from a family of LEO's & Firefighters of 3rd generation.
Was the container marked properly? The container was a clear 2qt Lock-n-Lock by
Rubbermaid. It was camo taped to match the pine tree it was originally placed
in. A small "Official Groundspeak Geocache" sticker on the lid, with
email/cellphone contact information (laminated) inside of it with the logbook.
Looking at the video, from where the Bomb Squad had detonated the cache at, it
was in or towards the middle of the parking lot. This is not where the cache
was originally placed at all. The cache was placed @ the end of the parking
lot, in a small pine tree near a retention pond. (Clearly away from the
building, far end of the parking lot)
This cache was not easy to spot in its hiding place either, quite a few times I
have gone over to check on the cache, parked right in front of it & could not
see it. So it to have been moved out into the open, prior to calling PSP,
Titusville PD & the Erie Bomb Squad by someone or something.
The cache lived a short but good life of 13 months & 1 day, helped quite a few
TBs & coins out & last but not least gave 79 cachers a smiley
This goes to so you that getting permission doesn't stop these type of
incidents. This wasn't even an LPC but hidden in a pine tree well away from
the store.

"Such boxes have been placed in public areas without permission as part of a
game called geocaching, said Hudson."
I guess the frisbee rule didn't apply.. Either that, ot they just don't know
about the frisbee rule... LOL!
