My son-in-law just caught a "weedle" in my den! He told me there have been instances of bad guys waiting for children to show up playing this game. That's unconfirmed but I can certainly see the potential.

Put up a closely spaced string of no-trespassing signs.

I have just enough anarchist in me to defy them by putting up a fence and letting them take me to court to let them explain why they don't issue permits when requested. If they don't want to allow fences they should pass an ordinance or zoning code that can be challenged through an official avenue. The officials are playing a game with citizens and should be exposed one way or another. It's absolutely about power and has noting to do with city beautification, IMHO. I'll bet the city has fenced property.

I believe it has a blue dot on the map that represents your position so the green dot, the caches, close to your location would likely be the one you are looking for on your property.

My kids and I play this game all the time, and there are rules, and one of them is, if it's on private property get the owners permission first.

That sounds cool. I may try that. I think it is in a creek bed area that turns into a small river that pretty dangerous when it rains hard. It must be up in a tree to have not been washed away so far.

C-dub, I curious about not being allowed to build fences. Has no one challenged the city on that? What possible grounds could be applied to prevent a homeowner from protecting property and privacy with a fence? How can you keep an outside dog without having it tethered, which is to me a very bad idea. Beside the safety risks and lack of real exercise, is inhumane and you potentially lose any security benefit of a dog in the back yard to prevent a rear door/window breakin. From your description it sounds as though access is easily gained from a creek area. Maybe your neighborhood should petition the city for special police patrols to protect your homes.
