I am interested in finding out if other CO's are finding their caches going missing more regularly? I've had 3 go missing recently and am trying to work out why. I believe mine are carefully concealed and have a good description which includes warnings on stealth if necessary.

I have had various thoughts and the main one I am wondering about, is that newer people to the hobby of geocaching are becoming more frequent (which is a good thing!) due to finding apps on their phones etc, but is the concept of stealth etc to protect the location of the cache understood?

I could be barking up the wrong tree completely, but I would be very interested to hear other people's opinions.
