If so, it's a wonder they've not been attacked by dogs and property owners or do I mis-understand?
SOME geocachers simply don't care. I have turned in quite a few caches in my years of geocaching. Each was placed somewhere that was prohibited by the rules. Most of those rules are based on safety or security issues. And yet someone decided, what the heck and in many instances outright lied to the Reviewer. But that's not the only "what the heck" moment - another one is when a geocacher goes to a cache site and realizes that the cache shouldn't be there and instead of turning it in, they log their find and move on to the next one. If you google you can find a few classic examples of what can happen - as in police bomb squads blowing up a geocache that shouldn't be where it was. There are a lot of good geocachers out there who won't trespass and who won't damage property. And there are also quite a few that don't care what they do as long as they get to log their find.
