Cindy, I did check some of his other finds, and they looked OK. Somehow, I
don't think he is a fraud, but I sure wish he'd sign his logs. I have sent
him another email and explained things to him. Wish I could talk to the guy.

Bernie -- did you look at any of his other finds? Is this cacher using this
"couldn't sign log excuse" for a lot of them? If not, maybe he is truly
forgetting or losing his writing instrument. If you see this in a lot of
his other "finds", then I agree with what has been said before, drop a
friendly email and see if you can guide them into doing it the right way. I
know it's a game, but all games have rule. All cache rules are different
from one to another, but the rules are there for a reason.
If you must sign the log or "get into the cache" in order to receive credit
then that is different. (And I just saw the safecracker cache last night
and can't wait to do this one).
PS: I always carry 2 or more pens at any given time. But I think that's
the writer in me more so than the cacher in me ;-) But if you ever need to
borrower one.....

Arlene, the first time I deleted his log and then he came back stating that
he had no pen. He did describe things correctly. I let him relog. He has 47
finds. Bernie

Did he have a reason for not signing? "Log too wet", "my pen ran out of
ink", or something like that? How about making them tell some sort of detail
about the cache...what color was the container? How was it secured in its
hiding place? I think I would right a note to them saying from now on sign
the log or it WILL be deleted. We forgot our pen a couple times, BUT each
time I sent an email to the owner teeling as many details as I could about
the cache. Is this a new cacher, or an oldie? Maybe they don't know the
'rules' of the game.

I need some feedback on this one. There is a cacher who states in his logs
"Did not sign log" , but claims it as a find. He has done this to three of
my caches. What should I do? Delete or ignore. Bernie
