New York Admin: I received a note from someone who has actually found this cache. Seems to be very risky and places searchers in an area people are not expected to be or welcome.
I am archiving this cache today before someone gets arrested or worse, hurt.
Every cache placement needs to have permission from the property owner/manager. This is covered in the guidelines and for everyone's convenience I have copied that section below.
[quote]You assure us that you have the landowner's and/or land manager's permission before you hide any geocache, whether placed on private or public property.
By submitting a cache listing, you assure us that you have adequate permission to hide your cache in the selected location. If you have permission to place a cache on private property, indicate this on the cache listing for the benefit of the reviewer and those seeking the cache.
In the case of public property, permission can often be obtained from the agency or association that manages the land. Worldwide, there are many such agencies and organizations that regulate geocaching on their managed land. As the cache owner you are responsible for determining who to contact to obtain permission. As community volunteer reviewers become aware of geocache placement policies for a certain location, they may add it to the Regional Geocaching Policies Wiki.
Even if you are certain that geocaching is permitted on particular public property, ensure that you have followed any and all requirements established by the land owner or land management agency before placing the cache. There may be locations in which cache hides are inappropriate, even though not prohibited by local laws.
If Groundspeak is contacted and informed that your cache has been placed inappropriately, your cache may be temporarily disabled or permanently archived.[/quote]
