Given the history, the fact it is confirmed "nobbled" and the location I think it is time to put this one to bed.
Can confirm it has been nobbled. This was a very hard find suggest replacement is a little easier than the past placement.
like all the others too many people coming and going this appears to be in a car park of a 24hr operation
I WENT OUT OF MY WAY TO TRY AND FIND THIS ONE
I WENT OUT OF MY WAY TO TRY AND FIND THIS ONE
Too many people around so didn't see the point of stopping and making an exhibition of ourselves.
I went here with high hopes, as there were a couple of things in my favour. It was a Saturday, so less traffic; and I had actually worked at the site some years ago so knew some of the people there. Spent about half an hour hunting, and chatted with a couple of interested operators to explain what I was doing in their front garden, but had no luck. I really don't think this is a simple park and grab.
Attempted this one again with no rain...still felt really exposed, and still couldn't find it!
A wet day caching with Davycrockpot. This one was not a quick park and grab. After a bit of a hunt we gave up in wet frustration. Maybe improve the clue as very exposed to do too much hunting

No luck today. No fun in the rain, and security muggle potential fairly high.
We question the location of this cache. It's obvious this is a sensitive, restricted area with plenty of security so to place a cache at the entrance is asking for trouble. We believe it will only be a matter of time until a 'security issue' arises.
Could the CO verify they have permission to place this cache at the given location. Our advice to the CO would be to seriously consider a different location nearby.
Also with the DNF's mounting up we think a 2 star difficulty, and the comment in the description 'A simple park and grab' is misleading.

Way too many muggles coming & going to do a decent search without compromising the cache, so moved on.
