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. :-)

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.

I wonder if they realize how big this game is, and how many calls they'd
get.  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. [imaging that!]
