[pct-l] water cache sabotage?

[Junaid Dawud]

In 2006 I used less than 3 liters from caches. I do believe RELYING on  
caches is silly.......

However, if the offender is a hiker, I hereby challenge them to a  
trekking pole duel. If you don't want water from a cache, don't take  
it. Destroying it isn't your right or responsibility, it is only an  
act of your overgrown ego.
