[pct-l] water cache sabotage?

It could also be crows. They're real pains sometimes. 

We had an incident a few years ago we suspect was someone who thought the caches were for hikers on a different trail who didn't have proper permits from immigration.

Thru-hiker Uncle Tom reports that one or more water caches have suffered 
damage and water loss:

"Getting water is difficult enough, but now...(some) hikers are making a 
point of taking an ice pick to the plastic jugs people put out here as 
water caches."

Any confirmation it's a current hiker doing this?
