This is a bit of a story, the moral being that you should hide or seek a cache (kaish) and pay with cash (cash).
Recently I was setting up a multi and had one last waypoint to place. I was showing off my little container to a caching buddy, Xavier Yellowtail, who enthusiastically said, "That’s some decent cash". An innocent enough statement but unfortunately it was overheard by notorious kleptomaniac and pickpocket, Ursula Nightingale.
It didn't take Ursula long to sidle up and extract the kaish from my shoulder bag. She was wandering off trying to look innocent, but the keen-sighted Xavier (being attuned to spoting kaishes) spotted the hide in Ursula's pocket and called out the alarm.
Ursula was off like a rocket. Once I understood the situation Xavier and I made a pursuit. Ursula was pretty speedy however and it didn't look good. She was a fair way ahead when she turned the corner into Hilda St and we lost sight of her.
When Xavier and I turned the corner too we did spot her once more at the very end of the road. Ursula ducked behind the bush and by the time we got there, there was no sight of her.
Not all was lost however because Xavier, ever keen-sighted, spotted the kaish. Ursula must have quickly left it there when she realized that it wasn't cash after all! I was going to collect it again, but Xavier suggested it fitted pretty well just there.
