Could the owner please to check this one as to whether this cache is missed and to replace with new one.
Searched for 15 minutes and could not find it. It must have removed by either the gardener or kid-muggles.
Had a pretty good look as much as I could between the coming and going of constant muggles but couldn't find this one. Fairly hard to have a really good scratch around so possibly still there, but might be worth a check please.
Have also poked around here without success. Reluctant to scrape away too much ground cover.
Called in on a rainy afternoon - scratched around for too long. Nothing found, had to leave being worried about shopping muggles attention. I hope it is still there?
Popped into Supermarket on route to some friends - TFTC - Took blue car, replaced with single AA battery.
Quick find with two sons and niece after picking up some shopping. Neat playground for the little ones. Dropped off world diabetes day commemorative geocoin. Thanks.
A quick find on the way home at 10.30pm. Definately wasn't there the first time I looked (shortly after the cache went live the first time). Wonder if a muggle had swiped it then put it back?

quick find, no muggles around which by the sounds of it is unusual. cheers out-nil in-army man
Got the cache this evening at 8:45pm. In fact we still have the cache as where unable to replace due to little muggles, will pop by in the morning on the way to work and put back.
Heaps of little muggles around enjoying themselves. I had to wait for some to move onto other things a little further away before I could make my move. #2 find on todays' cycling cache raid. TNLN T4TC. Cheers.
I found the cache at 6:55 am and I must have been right behind Bo & Bronnie.
A very exposed and busy spot. I don't think this cache will have a long life. I'm just puzzled why someone would put a cache there.
TFTC!

Yes I did an early morning raid on this one about 6.20 am as I had tried to do this cache the last time it was here and there were way too many muggles about, MMMM so I also wonder just how long it will last, cheers Bo
Came in for a quick nighttime raid since it seemed the best time for three men to find the cache. Might look a little dodgy during the day. Cheers Gav [1723]
1855. Thought we had better go straight out in case the cache got archived again. We were the FTF and there was no-one else around. This was probably the right time of the day to be doing this cache.
Thanks

I was in the area again today and decided to see if I could see a better spot...
I was amazed to find the cache was still there, not muggled at all!
I will update the hint.

Sounds like this has been muggled already. 
Seems like it was a poor location for my first cache.
My apologies to the hunters.

[Decided to start work early today and find this cache on the way to work. At 6:50am on the 13th with the coast clear could not find the cache despite the direct hint.]
This is going to be a problem cache I think given the muggles on fine days, the houses whose front windows look direct at GZ, not to mention the shoppers, also given how children play I fear this cache maybe muggled a lot. This cache will lend intself to night searches but that could rouse suspension from nearby houses

[Raced out hoping for a first to find while the mugglets were having tea. Not to be: a park full of mugglets and a car load of muggleteens looking at the park. What to do? I out waited the car load and was about to get out of the car and try to look normal sitting on a nearby park bench when who should arrive but bo&bronnie!
Together we entered the park as the mugglets had moved away from the GZ. Hunted] under two sets of rocks and found a hole under one [that suggests the prize has either been muggled already or someone else was first to find but unable to replace the cache.
