Don’t know if we’ve already done this:

What I want to know is what the police cautioned the geocacher for, and why on earth did he accept it?

Maybe I missed it but where did it say he was cautioned?

Down the bottom of the article:
“it left traders in a busy town out of pocket and the last geocacher to find the box outside Karen’s café with a police caution.”

While I’m not really interested in geocaching, if I was, and found a box like that and inadvertently caused a fuss, I’d certainly apologise, but there’s no frackin’ way I’d accept a police caution for doing something that isn’t illegal, any more than I’d accept a caution for photographing a public building and somebody reporting it as being suspicious. Screw that.

Exactly my thoughts, CZ (well except that I do have a vague interest in geocaching as something I’d like to try sometime, so potentially a real scenario for me).

he should have asked for a lawyer, if he got one he should be complaining to the Law Commission.

but pretty stupid to be hiding boxes in a town centre with the current alert state

Littering.

the current alert state

I thought it had recently been lowerered, when they realised someone wasn’t actually going to nuke the UK from orbit within the next 48 hours.

Be afraid, be very afraid……
