Hi Hawkins1908
This geocache was brought to my attention as being in need of an owner maintenance visit. The cache owner needs to check on this cache ASAP and either replace it or archive it, after picking up any geo-litter. See the [maintenance section of the Geocache Listing Requirements/Guidelines](http://www.geocaching.com/about/guidelines.aspx#listingmaintenance).
I've added this cache to my watchlist, and I will check back in four weeks to be sure that the maintenance has been done. In the meantime, I have temporarily disabled this listing. When the maintenance is completed, the owner can enable the listing by clicking on the link below the cache name to return it to active status.
Whatever your intentions, please **post a note** here on the cache page (not email) to let us know that you are still active and maintaining the cache. If a month passes without seeing a response, then I'll assume that this listing should be archived.
Please note, that if a cache is archived due to lack of owner maintenance, the cache is unable to be unarchived.
Regards

Cache seems to have gone missing, will replace whole cache next time I'm passing.
It was after midnight and nobody was around, but I still couldn't find it - I think I got the reference to "greek" but couldn't get the reference to "brothers" and after looking at the hint it didn't really help me.
Looked at a few things that I thought might have held or concealed the cache but came up empty handed.

Maybe next time. Couldn’t scrabble too much in my office clothes , not to say scrabbling required
Dodging heavy downpours, this was a nice and easy find.
Dropped in a TB.
Thanks for the placement.

All I can say is it does not get much easier than this. Daily cache sorted. TFTC

Out doing some geocaching today making the most of the sunshine.very windy though.a nice easy find for us in a good sized container.
Today I met thegreatauk for a little Caching tour at noon time. Most of them were easy to find and in good condition.
We thought first it is rubbish but there was a logbook inside.
Thanks for hiding!

A fantastic day out cacher hunting with the family, cache and log in good condition, thank you for placing the cache
A sneaky little spot - very clever, but lots of traffic on driveway so tried not to look too suspicious! TFTC
Felt pretty awkward looking for the cache but found it within a few minutes. Loved the rhino and painted my pinky nail for good luck through the rest of the day.
I was invited to head out with C&D on another caching trip, this time to Auckland to focus on the hides in the Dannemora and Flast Bush areas, plus a couple of other cache clusters a bit further South. An early start meant we got the most out of the day with over 50 finds, on a wide range of caches, which varied the day nicely. I myself had no specific plan for the day, bar there were a couple of puzzle caches in the area which I had solved and was hoping to finally claim the smilie for.
All in all another great day out caching, with the weather gods on our side (bar being very wet underfoot in a few parks), some great hides and as usual great company. A big thanks to all the CO's for the placements.

I felt awkward trying to search for this cache as I felt like it was on private property. A group of muggles were on the deck of a nearby property, so luckily it was a quick find. Had a quick play with the rhino, before heading to the next cache.
Took a bit to find it but so worth it! Great treasures in it. Played for a while with the rhino and cards! Had a lot of fun!
Doing a u-turn when supernannny piped up that there was a cache right here, so of course we had to stop to find it. Felt very awkward trying to search for this, as we felt like it was on private property. Luckily we made a quick find, and the muggle passed by without questioning us.
Out this way with Supernanny and Aiden29 when Supernanny pipes up there's a ccache just there. A quick U-turn later and we were parked close by. I'm pretty sure it's on private property so felt a bit uncomfortable walking in there but a quick find was made while a resident walked past and thankfully ignored us.
Finally managed to get this cache after a previous failed attempt at night. Looked in a slightly different spot and made a quick find this time. TFTC
Totally stoked to get this easy one after failing on an earlier visit....
But tricky at night with torch...and residents coming in and out of drive !
Thanks! Added a toy rhino .

Found after expanding our search to where we didn't expect to have to go. Co ords out by a few meters had us in middle if drive on footpath. Day three of our 4 day road trip from Hawkes Bay to Auckland and back to collect as many caches as we can. Log signed as b&p.Tftc
Well the clue was all greek to me until we got to GZ.
I made this way harder than it was - husband said casual here it is.
Never been up this road before. TFTC

Came up to the area thinking where could this be but spotted quickly and another log signed. TFTC.
Quick find, got a little worried looking around that the locals would think I was up to something though!
2nd one today I haven't been able to find may have to try another day I can see why people are saying it looks dodgy when looking for it lol.
This was a pretty quick find but I felt a bit dodgy looking in the day time. Luckily I spotted it quickly, dashed in, retrieved it, signed log and replaced. I'm surprised this one hasn't been muggled. TFTC!
In the dark of night, social biz guy and myself found Humpty just sitting there
Rather surprised that the locals didn't call the police. We looked rather dodgy. But didn't give up
Day 28 of a 50 day streak. Grabbed this easy park and grab after work this morning. Tftc
Love this one! Hint and description made this one a quick and easy find. Found after delish dinner at Kanda with Kev_zzz. So many cute things in cache! In excellent condition.
We were nearby picking up some drugs for our cat and then on the way home but since this was so close we couldn't resist a final cache for the day. Nice quick find and the cache was stocked with lots of goodies. NINO but we did have a look through
Couldn't find, had a little hunt around, but all the spots I could think of were bare.
09:00 - #28 Yay my lucks changed found this about half an hour later and then reading the clue a second time... Man I try too had I think... Thanks for the Blue egg but I left a my little pet dog, he wouldn't listen for me so maybe his new finder could teach him a few tricks or two... TFTC e)
We parked outside the Greek brothers establishment and at first were a bit apprehensive of what might be required here. Decided to check it out and soon discovered the cache. Thanks.
This was the first Geo Chach I ever found! My dad came with me and helped me find it. Quick and easy find. Great Geo Chach!
Found this one tonight after attending the nearby event at Botany Downs earlier, TFTC Hawkins1908, #7986
I have found 37 caches since I started last year and this is literally the best cache I have ever found, because of all the trinkets inside and it was slightly challenging at the start but had a laugh when I found it because it was in such an easy spot, loved this but may need to be hidden about better and my parents had to tell me to be more discrete because of muggles, I couldn't decide which trinket to take but finally chose.
TFTF!!
TFTF!!
Recent check on cache, cache in place and dry. Loads of log space and some nice swag. come and find me.
TFTC finding this cache to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Geocaching this weekend.
Didn't quite know where too look until I checked out a few logs. After that it was quick and easy!
Quick cache on my way home from work, just coz I felt like it. Easy to be inconspicuous today, luckily! Made a trade, SL. TFTC!
Took a bit of searching to find this one. Paid to read through the other comments and then we clicked. TFTC
Quick easy find, thanks.
Has a new log.

Maintenance been made........ Cleaned up, New log and LOADS of clean nice swag added.
Will change log very soon, due to our relocation we only visit to maintain every so often. Will fill with New treats and a fresh log.
Hmm. It wasn't on the ground. It's also quite exposed, so we weren't sure if this was the intended hiding spot or not? The log was too damp to sign.
No problems locating the cache but the log book was sodden. Managed to make our mark on onwards to the next cache. Thanks
On the wall, behind the wall, you choose, either way it was found. But wouldn't you know it! Just pulled up to in investigate this cache in the dark and someone pulls into this driveway and slows down to check me out. Naturally I play dumb, they moved on, I find cache, I move on!
Introduced our aunt and sister in law to geoCaching to find this one! Great clues made to all the more fun! Had to use the comments for a little more help finding it in the dark tho :p
Felt too suss looking too much here and quickly abandoned efforts when nothing showed up immediately. Hopefully will return.
Ha ha nice quick find just waiting for us! Felt like we could be watched without knowing it as there are windows everywhere! TFTC
