Geocaching Pile of... Cans?

I hear you calling.

New Years Day 2008. I usually Cache alone and one thing I've always noticed is how quiet this game usually is. However, on this day I went out to look for a fairly new cache placed by one of the well known locals. As I approached GZ, I heard Hip Hop music? coming from the bushes? I thought it might be some clever twist like one of those frogs you put on the porch that croaks when someone comes near that had been modified.

GPSr was telling me the cache was closer to the bridge so I continued. A little while later, I heard the music? again and ran over, getting a little closer to the source. It stopped again. Then it started again and I found a pile of beer cans, presumably from the night before, with a cell phone in the middle.

I tried to answer it but it stopped ringing. Then it started again so I tried to answer to tell the owner where the phone is. But this clever subscriber had enabled a security feature that prevented me from using his phone. Several more Hip Hop ring tones in a row then silence.

I found the cache and was about to leave when three teenagers came through. They tried to ignore the old man in the cargo pants till I asked if anybody lost a phone. One of the boys asked me where I found it and I said "In that pile of beer cans over there. I tried to answer it to tell you where it is but you had it locked up."

He was glad to have his little buddy back but seemed a little annoyed that I knew about their secret pile of cans.
