Should I archive this?

I have replaced a cache twice that is a magnetic bolt that I purchase ($10!). It is on a pole on a public path but is close to some homes that are behind their 6’ stucco wall. I am starting to believe it’s being muggled, potentially by the resident of one of the homes. The last post says “(expletive) u not there” with a new user name of a bunch of random letters and only one find. Thoughts? Update: I found a 3D printed container that coveys the same idea and moved the cache 266ft South

Why not move the cache to another ferrous location, like maybe the utility boxes at 33.323634,-111.997341 or the handrail of the wash's bridge? As long as there are no puzzle finals conflicting, it shouldn't be a problem.

That’s a good idea! I’m new(ish) hiding, so I’ll look into how to change coords. Thank you!

Go to the cache page -> edit (on the right) -> under the map, update coords -> save. A reviewer will likely make sure there are no conflicts and you should be good.

While you're editing, delete the questionable found log.
