Not entirely true Jim. You can get permission from one person, a year later they are gone and no one knows about the cache except "ol what's his name." I have had this happen, just not in a paking lot. My Maxie Cache experienced the same problem when the person on city council moved away. Also, my Weldon Spring park cache had the same issue. Since then, I have learned to get it in writing if they don't have a policy. I would have been OK at Weldon Spring if I would have asked the grounds keeper who has been there forever. I don't think private property caches should be allowed unless we have a specific type permit so we can show the "New Crew" what the agreement is. Cracker Barrel is a great example. One person at Corporate said all caches were approved. They even commented that it was a great idea. Then a new person takes over and says to remove them all. However, people are still placing caches at Cracker Barrel's with local manager's permission. I like the parks. Everyone knows about caching at the parks. No suspicious looks when you jump into the trees to find a cache. :-) Mike ________________________________ From: geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Bensman Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 11:31 AM To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [GeoStL] Re: Walmart light pole I think a part of the problem is people think of parking lots and light poles as public property and don't get permission to hide the cache. Parking lots are private property and the rules require the cache player get permission. So if that cache was properly placed, they would have had WalMart's permission. If they had permission, there should not be problems.

If everyone called their police department everytime they placed one the police department would lose even more man hours.

Store employees became concerned when they noticed two suspicious individuals leaving a package behind a light pole in the back parking lot.
