From: CONTROL---
REMARKS:
M.U.G.G.L.E. (Mankind Ubiquitously Gawking at Geocachers and Like Enthusiasts) has several agents operating in your area.
Good news! Last night, a snatch and grab team apprehended a M.U.G.G.L.E. agent named Lookie-Lou as he was leaving a bistro in downtown Vero Beach. He tried to make a run for it, but we nabbed him after a foot chase through the alleys, buildings and parking lots that make up downtown.
The bad news is Lou didn't have his BlackBerry on his person when we caught up with him. Our spotter says he was using it at dinner, so he must've stashed it somewhere as we were giving chase.
Thanks to satellite imagery, and video footage from nearby traffic cameras, we have Lookie-Lou in sight for much of the chase, except for one brief period. We believe that must be when he ditched his PDA.
For obvious reasons, we don't want to give the final coordinates of this blind spot over open channels. Once you arrive downtown, you will need to contact your handler for the exact location of the blindspot.
WE'VE HIDDEN A FLIP PHONE AT THE COORDINATES LISTED ABOVE--it's a direct line to your handler. Just flip it open and your handler will send you a TEXT MESSAGE where to go NEXT.
The phone is magnetic, so you should be able to find it without too much fuss--just be sure there aren't any M.U.G.G.L.E. agents lurking about when you phone in.
Go to the location your handler gives you, and search the area for Lookie-Lou's BlackBerry. If you manage to find it, for Pete's sake, leave it there! Lookie-Lou may have activated some sort of anti-tampering device on it, and it will erase all of its files if you move it without following proper procedure. Just sign the log so we know that you were there, MAKE NOTE OF ANY MESSAGES on the BlackBerry's screen. Contact me later, and I'll send a retrieval team to pick it up.
COVER I.D.:
Your cover while looking for the phone and BlackBerry is to pretend to be an insect collector searching for the elusive Urban Alley Caterpillar. You may want to bring along a jar to use as a prop.
REMINDERS:
Because of budget constraints, our agency no longer provides writing instruments, so BYOP.
As always, you’ll be disavowed if you are captured, killed or, heaven forbid, muggled. If you run into trouble, we’ll do what we can unofficially, but officially, we never heard of you. Good luck.
