Your cell phone rings. There's a short exchange, then the caller announces a date and time. With that, the call ends. You've just arranged with the art collector "Copernicus" to steal a priceless sculpture.
About This Cartridge
After years spent lifting jewels from exclusive Newport Beach homes, it's time for a new challenge: stealing fine art. Why give up a sure thing like boosting diamonds and rubies? The idea of making enough money to retire was certainly a factor. Still, this looks to be a tricky score. You'll need to do some research, pull off the job, and deliver the goods.
Note: This cartridge contains two security measures designed to catch would-be thieves. One is obvious, one isn't. Be alert, or you'll need to start over.
This cartridge will lead you to a geocache of the same name (GC1HWV4).
Starting Location
You're on a busy street, surrounded by people, cars, and lots of video cameras. (Be sure to bring pen and paper with you when playing this cartridge.)

Played a little hooky from a nearby business conference in order to come play this one midday. The weather was just perfect and I had the place to myself for the most part. The cartridge played pretty well with the need for only a couple restarts, those may have just been due to my impatience with my Oregon 300 too. I managed to avoid the guards (in real life too) and make the find. Took some photos along the way and really enjoyed all the art. This is easily one of the top five Wherigo cartridges I've played!

Don't know if we want to claim this find as now we're on the lam. Heist successful, but now InterPol is on our tail.
LaTigrita and I completed the course in around two hours on Sunday the 26th, but due to technical difficulties, my Colorado wouldn't register the completed game. We celebrated / commiserated in a nearby eatery.
In the neighborhood again this afternoon the 30th and RAN the course in 30 minutes. SUCCESS!!!
Thanks, JJG, for the adventure, the cartridge, the game and the cache.

Very nice walk around the area and art tour. Luckily we were able to complete the heist and make the getaway without being caught. Now all we have to do is get our payment. Small unmarked bills please.

I really like stopping long enough to see the art. The buildings sometimes made it hard to get good gps readings and we had to move in the middle of a puzzle. I'm still a bit befuddled about the security tapes...not sure how we managed to hack into the system. Thanks!

After hearing about this cartridge on the Podcacher, I had to check it out. I ran it on the emulator, & it looks GREAT.
All that is left now is head to California to play the cartridge there & find the treasure at the end.
