Case 2: Case of the "Freemasonry" Note
Hello, I'm detective George Earnest-Oscar Cacheton. Now that our treasurer W.E.R. Broke has been found (GC5C6CE) I've been drawn to this new case and could use your help again!


Case Details
Late last night I received a call from my academy friend Detective Sgt Blue Turncoat of Cacheville's local police department. After reminiscing for awhile about our academy days and our favorite pubs, he told me the reason for his call. He went on to explain to me that they had found a strange note while investigating a B&E at a Lock'N'Lock container factory that he didn't think was related to his case, but posed an interesting puzzle none the less. While conducting their perimeter search at the crime scene they found a piece of paper with a symbol and some numbers scribbled down in red pencil. He doesn't have time to track down its meaning but was curious about it and thought I might be able to figure it out. Blue scanned the note in and sent it to me. I figured one thing out immediately but the rest... I've included the note below for your viewing and interpretation.

Not really sure what to make of it, I recognize the symbol itself to be for the Freemasons (had researched becoming a member myself at one point after watching the Da Vince Code) but not sure what the numbers are about. My gut is screaming that the first number is crucial to figuring out what to do with the other two numbers. As this case is not officially assigned to me, I'll need to work on this case in my free time to help my friend out. Too bad since the mystery book I was reading was getting really good. Oh well, a friend in need is a friend indeed right? Besides with your help, I'm sure it will all be figured out soon enough.

**************************************
To preserve the caching experience, please replace the hide as found and be gentle when putting the container back together as it seems to require some TLC when I was handling it.
Coordinates are an average of multiple attempts and fine tuned with google maps.

What's with the bracket stuff in the title you may be wondering?
It's simply my personal identifier. The last letter (or sometimes the only letter) refers to the hide itself and choices will be:
Traditional style of hide - typically the hide should be a typical container hidden in a "typical" caching way
Kid friendly hide - child reachable, findable and room for tradeables. Aimed at the little cachers.
and Evil style of hide - Something about it that makes me rub my hands together maniacally in anticipation. Perhaps more unique camo, different hiding technique, lots of options at GZ...

If there is two letters together, the first will refer to the style of cache. Puzzle, Multi, Earth, Letterbox etc.

The number after the dash simply is the number of hides in that series for me. Don't expect this number to get too big.

No FTF certificate available, but I will list out the "firsts" later (First to Sign/Find and First to Log Find Electronically)
