After careful consideration this cache has been archived. What I didn't mention before is that when I went to check on the cache last time (see above in red) I found a packet with 2 syringes in it. Looks like the cache could have been found by junkies. One of the hazards of urban caching I guess.
Anyway thanks to all who played A Momentary Laspe of Reason. Look out for more caches by Team Chaos soon.

Took all of 2 minutes. 11pm was a good time. Not a bad intro to geocaching. The first of many more...

Friday Night 7:20 pm. Went to check if the cache was still there and do some maintenance following the recent reports. Good news. It's still there!!! The contents have diminished a bit, so it's Game On! Yes this cache is an adrenalin rush, even for me, and I planted it!!! Could geocachers please ensure the logbook is returned to the ziplock bag. 
I did it on the way home ~7pm. It was dark and raining and the GPS receiver had NO satellite lock at all, so I found it without GPS. Just as well I had it accurately plotted on my street directory. (Well I had it on the wrong side of the street but have consequently corrected my plotting technique by 8 metres.) Bad news, the lid had popped off. Contents looked intact but slightly wet; it had only just started raining. Seems the henna temporary tattoo thing was a bit too wide for the cache container. Also it was too full of other stuff too. Took the henna thing. Left some mosfets. DON'T PUT TOO MUCH STUFF IN. Like EcoTeam said, I'm also amazed it is still there!!
This one wasn't too far from my work, so I went out for a foolhardy lunch time hunt - on foot.
I just casually walked up to it, trying to keep up the apperance that I was doing something official. Is that an eTrex in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me...
I almost tripped up a gutter, so I think this one should be re-rated for terrain! :->
Urban to the extreme all right, TeamChaos are certifiably insane! I'm surprised the cache has lasted this long!
Didn't have time to look what was in it, just scribled something in the logbook and got the flock out of there.
What a rush!

What a rush!
Into the distance, a ribbon of black.Stretched to the point of no turning back.A flight of fancy on a windswept field,Standing alone my senses reeled. A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Well drive -thru caching , as everyone has said. not that hard to extract though, if you plan it right, or park it right I should say.
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies,
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit
god cache, wonder how much longer it will stay its been over a month now!

We conducted an early morning raid, with no one around. Much better than a Maccas drive through. We left a yo-yo from Go Jump.
Signed as Team Fist Electron Gun (go to www.europa.com.au/dumhed/feg/ for an explanation of the name) This was our first found cache - we put in the coordinates at a friend's place and found we were about 700m away - so off we went. Took the safety goggles and left a henna tattoo kit (!) Great spot! And the coordinates are spot on - my GPS (Etrex) was well within a meter of the cache. I'll be creating a cache or two in the next few days too...
G1 found it while pretending to eat lunch parked very nearby. Took nothing, left a pair of glasses. Well done Chaos. Just wish you hadn't found i5 first!
1:30pm. Wandered around discretely until we spotted the cache, then we did a drive-by-caching to pick it up and put it back! This is a very easy cache to find, but do try to avoid attracting attention!
Second cache for the night....took the stashers advice and visited late and found it quite easy. Replaced a toy van with another model. Snifter took the Chaos Cash and left 1 of her Found Its.
A nice nocturnal diversion.
