In asking ST which one was the 1,000,000th cache, he said it might be in this system. A 500 cache power trail in Nevada. Road trip anyone? GC24KMR

There are a bunch of us on FB. As far as a group for CNY? I'll look into creating one at some point.

Actually, I checked in with a "legal expert" friend of mine (who wishes to remain nameless).
Here's his advice... Quote I know nothing of the geocache community. I would, however, District Attorney's Officeencourage you to contact the District Attorneys office, as many of you as possible, with letters explaining what this is and what "Paul" has done to you. Some good estimates of the costs would help the DA also, as they can make restitution a part of any plea bargaining. If all else fails you can bring a civil law suit against the guy. That would solely be designed to extract the actual losses that the group experienced. You could ask for pain and suffering or some punitive damages, but frankly I don't see those going anywhere as they are virtually unmeasurable and the criminal system is for the punitive side of things. The civil suit could be in small claims, cheap, easy but you need some pretty solid proof of the values of things. Get your thoughts together on what has been lost physically and contact the DA's office at 800 Park Ave Utica, New York 13501 To help the DA's office keep our letters in context, it may help to include a printed copy of the original article, as published in The Rome Sentinal. All of our notes should be polite and to the point, avoiding personal attacks and/or abusing language. C'mon everyone... 10 minutes of time and 50 cents in materials. Let's measure this legal system of ours and see how well it actually works. |

I completely agree, and apologize if my enthusiasm for justice/payback came across
as a call for vigilantism. Collectively, the best position we can take is a polite show of unity in the court room. Even if the judge doesn't dish out what we'd like, it would do good for Paul Repak to get a direct measure of the number of people he's succeeded in deliberately annoying. It's also good for us all to know exactly who this jerk is, photo and all, so we can adjust reactions accordingly if we bump into him in the wild near a cache. Direct harassment to his property, self, or family would be way out of line. Separately, I think the odds of us getting our "day in court" are extremely small. My money is on the bet that he'll close this out without a court appearance. Does anybody on this forum know if we have the option of submitting notes to the court system in any way, stating our concerns and displeasure with Repak prior to the next scheduled appearance? |

Here's a link to another forum (Geocaching in the Buff) with some interesting discussion including an e-mail from the guy in response to contact from GeoLobo (Shane.) I don't think violence on our part is the answer, or destroying his personal property, but I think a large presence in the court room would help send a message. Note that in response to Geolobo, he does not admit guilt, so of coure he talks of "helping" and apparently he wants to help us for a fee. . . hahaha. . . The point is, we have him in an uncomfortable position with his family and peers, so whether or not the charges stick, I hope he decides to stop plundering caches, and wrecking our fun. http://www.gitbuff.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=551

First things first. Here's a photo of this SOB. It's directly from an article
the Rome Sentinal did about his son. Paul Repak is the guy on the right... http://www.romesentinel.com/dailyImages/2009/04/14/20090414-085142-001_medium.jpeg Whether or not this is actually a "crime" is debatable. We geocachers are leaving things behind in public areas. We're walking away from them and are relinquishing our rights to them, all on the expectation that nice people will find them and follow the rules we've set up. Technically, I'm not sure it's theft. With that being said, there MAY be some other crimes that he can be charged with, like being a public nuisance; don't know, since I'm not a lawyer. At the very least, I'm HOPING that he loses his security clearance at the lab. To work at AFRL's Information Directorate, he's almost certainly got a Top Secret clearance. Lovely, eh? Here's some SOB that takes a perverse delight in ruining other people's good natured fun, all on the sly, while outwardly presenting himself as an avid outdoorsman. So what's he likely to do with gov't secrets? Treat them with any more respect? |
