Geocache Description:

The Friends of Mr. Cairo

Mr. Joel Cairo (has disappeared)


The Friends of Mr. Cairo is a notorious gang of ruffians and hoodlums. They stop at nothing and all that stand in their way usually disappear from the face of the earth. Never to be heard from again. Very little is known about this group. They are only know by their code names: "Tommy the Shark" is da boss; "Jimmy the Wiz" is da brains of da group; "BadSquirrel" is da muscle; and "Stig" is da Wheelman. Formed by Mr. Cairo, they have taken over the top of their local organization. However, last year on Oct 9, 2010, they were defeated in the TinselTown Murder and they were brought to a humble justice. Thinking they deserved to win, all other contestants seemed to have vanished without a trace. After that, they went on a drunken binge, each preferring their own unique beverage. Maybe joining them at the bar, you can determine where Mr. Cairo has been hiding, if he's hiding, or if he's been hidden...

 

Mr. Joel Cairo is missing. And the nefarious gang, the Friends of Mr. Cairo are suspect...

 

The only clue are a couple of bar tabs from the TinselTown Bar. No research is required. Just some gumshoe detective work. The clues will be found with each suspect.

 

Your task is to stalk out and find each of the gang members (in any order). As follows:

Stig: da Wheelman

BadSquirrel: da Muscle

Jimmy the Wiz: da Brains

Tommy the Shark: da Boss

 

Each has a clue hidden (in the lid). Add the clue you find to the matching part of the clue picture.

 

Here is what the bar tabs looked like:

 

Find the gang members and ask what they ordered.

Remember:

"Wine before Liquor, never been sicker.

Beer after wine, you'll be just fine."

If you can survive, of course....

Moooo, ha, ha, ha, haaaaa
