Current Goal

He wants to tour the world to let people know he can mix in society without getting into any sort of trouble. He wants to be cheeky and have his photo taken outside police stations and prisons around the world, maybe even Alcatraz. Shake his hand firmly to send him on his way, and he may just sing for you. (Unfortunately, due to spending too much time in the cold outdoors, Rocky has lost his singing voice and can no longer give his rendition of Jailhouse Rock!)

About This Item

Rocky. (An innocent hamster)

Locked up for a crime he didn’t commit, Rocky spent 5 years in Preston Prison, England trying to clear his name. The authorities don’t believe his pleas of innocence so the time has come for him to make a break, and get out of jail. On the night of 26 August 2004 he sneaked out of his cell (under the door, he’s so small!), dodged past Prison Officers, and finally scaled the walls. He quickly made his way north to hide in 'canal side stroll' cache where he wants to lay low for a few days before commencing his travels.

Today we did find the cache Odiliapeel Mysteries by team Rocky!!!

We found the murderer, so TB Rocky can enjoy his time in the woods without being hounted.

We are sure that TB Rocky likes this place, the theme and the team are no coincidence.

Vandaag hebben we Odiliapeel Mysteries van team Rocky gevonden!!!

We hebben de dader te pakken, dus kan TB Rocky van zijn tijd in de bossen genieten, zonder opgejaagd te worden.

We zijn er zeker van dat TB Rocky deze plek leuk zal vinden, het thema en het team zijn dan ook geen toeval.

groetjes Geovlinder
Write note 8/4/2006 GeoVlinder posted a note for it   Visit Log

Today we made a picture of Rocky outside the police-station in our hometown, and we started the cache (wich we will hopefully find tomorrow) in wich we want to place him. A cache with a lot of suspects and a murderer, we think Rocky can survive and prove his innocense.

Edit 19-1-2007: Finally we placed the photo, unfortunately after scanning and uploading it is hard to see it really is Rocky. I promise you it is, I have the original photo to prove it. We did ask permission to take the photo because we where not interested in the risk of a free room for the night.

Vandaag hebben we een foto gemaakt van Rocky buiten bij het politie-bureau in Veghel, waar we wonen. En we zijn aan de cache begonnen (welke we hopelijk morgen ook zullen vinden) waar we hem in willen stoppen. Een cache met vele verdachten en een moordenaar, we denken dat Rocky dit kan overleven en zijn onschuld zal bewijzen.

Edit 19-1-2007: Eindelijk hebben we de foto geplaatst, helaas na scannen en uploaden is het moeilijk te zien dat dit echt Rocky is. Ik beloof je, dat is zo, ik heb de originele foto als bewijs. We hebben wel toestemming gevraagd om de foto te mogen maken, we hadden geen zin in het risico op een gratis overnachting.
groetjes Geovlinder

On a perfect day we found this TB. Now I know who he is and what he wants, I'll try to take a nice picture and then put him back on track.

Discovered It 7/29/2006 PA3FUS discovered it   Visit Log

I saw this TB this afternoon while doing the route around Ravenstein. Team Geovlinder took the TB with them, so for me it's just a discover action.

Greetings Jan-Willem PA3FUS.
