SHOP-A-HOLICS Karrinyup, Western Australia, Australia
By Ethanolshaunasheep on 01-Jun-12. Waypoint GC3MMAA

One or more of the following has occurred:

No response from the cache owner.
No cache to find or log to sign.
It has been more than 28 days since the last owner note.

As a result I am archiving this cache to keep from continually showing up in search lists and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Should you like to resurrect the cache please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

4.23. Unarchiving a Geocache

The archiving of a geocache is intended to be a permanent status. That is why only community volunteer reviewers and Geocaching HQ staff have the capability to unarchive it. This is done only in rare circumstances and only if it meets the current Geocache Listing Guidelines.

If a geocache is archived by a reviewer or staff for lack of maintenance it will not be unarchived.

I know it has been a long time, and I have ignored the cache for quite a long time. But I will replace the cache and re enable the listing within the next 28 days
Sorry about all the wait

Fourth times a charm?

Time to go

Time to go.owner has had a fair amount of time

No action on appropriate time frames. Time to go

Cache has gone missing

Had A pretty good look but nothing found it all might be worth a check

Quick find on a no muggle day. Tftc

On the way into the shopping centre there were muggles close by. On the way out the coast was clear and I grabbed the cache. TFTC

Found it not many muggles out TFTC

Quick find, putting it back took longer. Currently you need to reverse the second half of the hint for it to be accurate. TFTC!

Found it. Finally:-) we took geokret.

Found on a cooking hot day. Seeking shade and air conditioning in the shops today.
Tftc

Found

Found it

Found it while doing Christmas shopping

Thank you! Was catching up with a friend for coffee and thought I'd see if there were any caches near the shops seeing as I was in the area. And there was one right here! My friend assisted me in the find.

tftc quick easy find on an early sunday morning. no muggles!!

Found way back on 24th August 13 with Acachea. Must have forgotten to log it.

Didn't find this one after what we thought was a good search.

Great hide! We found it on a rainy day. Not too many muggles around.

I'm not shopaholic at all. Shopping center is best when it is closed. And today it was. Ranneli found the cache quickly and I dropped TB off. To logg this one you must visit Geokrety.org.

It was dark, it was (almost) night, it was raining and the shop was closed - perfect time to seek this cache. No harm of muggles. After some wrong spots we found the right one too. TFTC.

Didn't have a pen TFTC

Gps put us on wrong side of building to start with. Nice spot

Tried to grab it at a quietish time but ......... Mmmmm, how to explain a kneeling Grandma to a glamorous young shopping muggle?? Didn't try, just smiled and wished her a good day!!!!!!!!
Hallo from NZ and thanks for the cache

Forgot a pen but sweet spot

Good spot

Quick park and grab on our way home on Sunday night - unfortunately we only had a yellow highlighter to sign the log TYFC

Great cache manage to shop till I dropped and also cache what more could you ask for TFTC

What a great idea - keep the cachers busy while the shoppers shop! Potential security muggle was artfully distracted while cache was nabbed. TFTC

TFTF Very quiet at the moment!!

Found in broad daylight on a Saturday with a lucky break with not a muggle in sight. Thank you

A nice evening stroll to the closest cache to where we are staying. Nice and quiet to find the cache. SL TFTC

Cache was missing, replaced with black container. Enough space for small TB and trading cards etc.

The kids were trying out the new bikes from Santa. Perfect day to search as not a muggle in sight. Found the spot but looks as though it's been muggled

Hi,

Me, Brad and Phillippe search and search for half an hour without results. Has it been muggled ?

Easy find

Easy find as cache was not hidden at all. No trackables inside either, this is I think the 5th cache this weekend with missing trackables.

22nd cache this week that has trackables missing tftf!

Good find, 10.40am Sunday - not to many people to be worried about

This was so easy but sneaky.

Half of the FFLL team is out of Canberra traveling for work this week. Not quite adjusting to the time difference saw FFLL no 2 up way to early so she had time to collect some caches before heading to the airport to catch her flight to Darwin.

TFTC\

Found with the old 'tie up the shoelace' trick. TFTC.

there were so many muffles walking around even though the shops are basically closed. great find !

Nice easy find...the retrieval at muggle central...not so easy. Anyway, got the job done. Didn't have time for a proper look with a torch, but I didn't see a TB in there. Could have missed it as there were a few items of swag.

Cache Condition: Excellent. Secure and dry. Swappables present but TN. Excellent camo!

Thanks for the cache Ethanolshaunasheep.

Good

After waiting for someone to move on from having a smoke we had a good look and finally found the cache. SL TNLN TFTC

A nice easy find after afternoon tea with grandma and grandad. TFTC

Very nice hide. Super Sh'neaky!

Got a bit wet with the rain. Didnt have anything to swap so sorry for that.

I've tried for this one a couple of times over the last few months but the high muggle presence has always made me too wary to drag the cache out of it's hidey hole. An early start to the day before the shops were open for business had to be the way to go - so a quick grab this Sunday morning. TFTC

This was a tricky one to get , I sat down and no one even noticed what I was up to...amazing to see everything around while feeling for the cache...TFTC

Nice hide tftc lots of muggles yikes nobody saw us

Really good lil set up A+++

Tftc geo t with her small hands got the job done.

After a delicious afternoon ice cream with Aunty KB she suggested a bit of caching. Luckily the shops were almost closed so there weren't too many muggles to look out for. A nice easy find. Thanks for the great cache.

Nice easy find on a muggle free day TFTC!

Lovely day at the shops with the GeoSis TFTC Dropped a TB

Quick grab on the way home from the beach. The carpark was empty after 6pm Sunday arvo. TFTH

Awesome

Probably the best cache to date. My 6 yr old found it while I was trying to see where my gps was pointing.

Finally got this one today after many attempts that were thwarted by muggles. Days or nights it didn't matter. I left it to one of my sneaky geokids while i acted 'normal'. Tftc.

TFTC!

Very nice hide
However no trackable in cache
Thanks for the hide
Merry Christmas!!

Picked up Mistraluna at Stirling Train Station, for a day of caching in the area.
We covered a lot of ground, visited many parks and a couple of shopping centers.
Found a good variety of hides, in good condition.
Thanks for the cache, Ethanolshaunasheep.

Teamed up with The Drovers today and headed up this way to try our luck. Managed to find, retrieve, sign and replace, all without being noticed by any of the Christmas shopping muggles. Thanks Ethanolshaunasheep

Very sneaky and clever hide well done TFTC.

The things we do! Picture a 60 yo geofemale, sitting on the ground outside shopping centre, pretending to be texting or playing candy crush, smiling at passing muggles so they would think I was "unwell". Then coast was clear, cache retrieved, admired, log signed, cache replaced. No muggle was the wiser! Loved it, TYFC!

Visiting family in Perth from Moree NSW and the geowife decided to get her nails done. As tempting as the option was to sit and wait in the shop for her, I took the geobaby for a walk to find some scannable things and this cache. I found GZ pretty quickly and guessed where to look but there was a couple of seniors buses waiting to depart so I walked around for another 10mins. Upon returning there was only one bus and they looked preoccupied so I placed geobaby and stroller to give me cover and then quickly recovered the cache. Quickly signed and then replaced. Awesome cache hidden right under every muggles nose which I Love and our 250th cache A favourite from me. TFTC

9.13pm. Dockers beat Port Adelaide. Spirits are high. We are in 3rd position and I've finally done this Karrinyup cache. Brilliant!!

A quick find here by the better half whilst on a caching adventure north of the river.

Thanks Ethanolshaunasheep for the cache.

Hah awesome cache. Came here after a successful shopping trip. Thanks! )

Very well hidden thank you

Justv out having a drink with a vmate and thought I would tackle this one. Had to wait for about 15 - 20 min to be clear. Tftc

TFTC

Such a cool spot! TFTC

An interesting find. Tftc

great and brilliant cache in such a high muggle area! one of the best caches ive found so far. hope no muggles saw me

Found @ 14:07!

My current host had to go to Karrinyup today to get a new phone after two were stolen the other day. As I hadn't been there before I decided to tag along!

Once we had parked, I discovered there was a cache nearby and prepared to grab it on the way out...

Once I had prepared myself by reading the info provided in the description and past logs, it was easy to spot the likely candidate from near the entrance of the shopping centre!

Told my companions I would meet them back at the car and headed to GZ, timing it so the walking muggles had left! Also had to position myself and bag to shield my activities from a couple of muggles in nearby cars.

Fortunately, my guess at the cache was correct and I quickly signed the log before returning it to the hide. Didn't have time to see if any trackables were present...

A nice hide in 'muggle central'!

TNLN TFTC!

Managed a few sneaky tactics to fend off muggles!

Very cheeky and tricky find lunch time on sat lots of muggles tftc

GSAGC #383. No muggles about at 0600 Saturday morning TFTH.

Have to be quick to avoid muggles. TFTC

A quick afternoon hunt. Well done! My local shops - been here so many times and yet I never would have known it was here.

Wondering to myself why there are so many people driving past the library this early on a Sunday morning....
Managed a quick grab from the most suspiciously obvious place I've seen so far! TFTC

Quick easy find "hidden" in plain view! Loved it! Took geocoin to move on. Also took a blue sheep eraser & left a crystal heart key ring! TFTC!

Awesome spot!

were taken in circles around the shopping center by gps! Very difficult to get to with so many muggles.
took tb. tftc

Nice and quiet this morning

TB drop

We had visited this location a few months ago on a Sunday but there were way too many muggles about to even attempt a search although we spotted the likely spot. Returned today, still on a Sunday but today it was shortly before closing time and much quieter. We were able to make a quick find without being observed.

What a great place for a cache! Cheers

After missing out on this cache last time I tried to find it because it wasn't there, I came back today for another go. I used all my best stealth, and managed a seamless retrieval and replacement, with people around non the wiser. I made sure no one was around each time I reached for the cache.

Nice container, thanks for replacing this one, and thanks for the hide Ethanolshaunasheep!

now that is some nice work! good job TFTC!

FTF newly activated cache! Thx for help from GeoCameronRobin!

Cache is back in action in a new diguise, that weighs over 2 kilograms.

Same spot same clue.

Happy caching!

FTF new cache with TARDOE after brilliant day of caching. TFTC!
