Archiving this one as the neighbours were becoming worried about those 'hanging around'... even though there is a fish n chip shop next door, and they do the same there!
 
10-Feb-12
Quick find after I wandered away from where the GPS was pointing us Razz Not sure if that was were it was meant to be and the GPS led us astray (Not for the first time that night) or if it is in the wrong spot.
 
10-Feb-12
Found somewhere I don't think it was supposed to be; after several minutes of combing the entire GZ, Ari wandered off to check somewhere nearby; the "Sold" sign near the storefront. Lo and behold it was there.

Insides were also heavily waterlogged.

27-Mar-11
Accompanied by SA Mystery Inc we went to visit my Mum in Normanville today and on the way home said to Mr P we should get this one-he said he didn't bring the GPS but I was confident of where this would be as I had seen the cache go live and thought then I knew its location knowing the area. Lots of muggles around all wanting to talk to Mr Hooker so we parked almost on top of it and it was pretty much a lean out rather than a drive by and making out to talk on the mobile I soon had it in hand. TFTC.
 
Quick easy find in obvious spot. not many around

Mrs S had an appointment nearby but we had time to grab one more cache before she was due for lunch. Mr S made a quick find on the way to check the window offerings. Would love to buy something down here but the prices are too high. Replace the cache on the way back to the car.

Thanks NormyCrew.

Parked outside the Diner where there was a gaggle of muggles hanging out.
Found and retrieved the cache while holding a conversation on the "Mobile phone".
Returned to checkout the 'Properties for Sale" in Mr Hookers window and surreptitiously replaced the cache while again using the 'Mobile"
