Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

 

Saul Klart (who is in no way affiliated with that OTHER mall cop who made a movie) has ensured the safety of all who frequent the Twin Pines Mall for years. He showed up to work this morning just as he had every day. He grabbed a cup of coffee, put it in the cup holder of his segway, and rolled up to the entrance. There, he discovered that there had been a string of burglaries beginning at 1:16am. Who thought they could get away with this? Well it wouldn't happen on Saul Klart's watch!

A few things stood out to him. First, the sheer number of burglaries was shocking. There hadn't been one single burglary in all his tenure at Twin Pines, but there were 15 in one night! Second, the stores seemed to have no connection to one another. The burglar was just as likely to break into a bookstore, a video store, or a candy shop! What a mystery!

The only piece of evidence was a piece of paper found at the mall entrance. Sure enough, the 15 stores that were robbed were on the list. But even with that information, he couldn't make it out what it all meant. He was at a loss. Can you help him decipher the clues and discover where the suspect is hiding with his cache of stolen goods?

Below is the text of the piece of paper found at the entrance. Remember to stay stealthy. Saul Klart hasn't told all of the mall cop muggles he asked for your help because he wants to keep his job! Good luck!
