Description
Dr Richard Kimble is still on the run!
Internal memo dated 15/11/07:
In spite of a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in the area, the fugitive Dr Richard KIMBLE is still on the loose. In spite of this glaring ineptitude and all round ham-fistedness US Marshall Sam GERARD (Pictured below) has been given one more opportunity to redeem himself before the director hands him over to GERARD’s twin brother in the MIB for “re-education”. However GERARD is no longer running the investigation, he is now in charge of media relations, subject to the director’s approval.
Marshall Sam GERARD His Brother (Known only as "K")
The director has therefore authorised the following Media Release for general dissemination to all outlets, Internet, Print, Radio and Television.
Media Release:
The US Marshall Service requests that all members of the public Be on the Lookout for a male person required for interview.
The male is identified as Dr. Richard KIMBLE, aged 35, DOB 15/11/72.
KIMBLE’s last known location was at an undisclosed address in the Kingston area. Since fleeing that area he has successfully avoided capture. As such the director has authorised the establishment of a “flying squad” task force that will patrol the city. At reported sighting a team of marshalls will rapidly enter the target area utilising “Shock and Awe” tactics in an attempt to stun the fugitive.
Description:
Male; approx 173cm tall; medium build; with blond hair, blue eyes and clean shaven. This description is believed to be unreliable due to an item in KIMBLE’s possession.
The Chameleonic Device allows the user to change not only their appearance, but their size, shape and chemical composition. This item was under the control of the Torchwood Institute and enquiries are continuing in regards to how KIMBLE came to possess the artefact. Torchwood personnel advise that there is a fault in the device they have been unable to repair; it is believed that KIMBLE may be locked in the physical form of a small grey box.
A recentish photo (No longer entirely accurate)
KIMBLE has now been on the run for quite a while and some facts have come to light in relation to his methods which may be helpful to the public:
- KIMBLE is most comfortable in a city or suburban setting, he has never been found in a rural locale;
- Once sighted KIMBLE will recognise the spotter and won’t approach them. However advice from Torchwood is that the chameleonic device does affect the user's short term memory, it is believed that KIMBLES’ memory resets after every third meeting. Therefore as long as he has been approached by two others he can be re-found.
- Once located KIMBLE shares a secret with his finder. It is imperative that this secret not be shared with any person who has not had dealings with KIMBLE. The information may cause the uninitiated a spontaneous cranial detonation; this also is a side effect of the Chameleonic Device.
- KIMBLE seems to be able to easily find people to assist him, must be his magnetic personality.
- ** new mission, now the fugitive has reached the mainland he has sent me a derisive text the upshot being he intends touring the continent in an anticlockwise manner challenging us to capture him. To date he has been sighted in South Australia and Victoria.**
Logs
This cache appears to be MIA so have been archived to stop it showing up in the lists and queries. If the cache is resurrected the owner can lodge an "Unachived" log against it to bring it back to life.
Had a good look today as cache belongs to a local cacher back home, but I fear The Fugitive has disappeared for good.
I think Kimble has given everybody the slip!
My guess is that he has changed his name, altered his appearance with the help of plastic surgery and jumped a ship to some far-off country that doesn’t have an extradition policy with Australia – never to be seen again!

Well the hiding team finally returned my email and the hiding spot is not where I suspected it had been.
Try the big banger but get down low on your hands and knees
I hope he is still there

Despite the elapsed time since the last log this multi-recommended movable lured us to detour to his last known sighting in transit to Mt. Gambier but alas The Fugitive proved just as elusive as his namesake.
I think I found where he was hidden and will contact the last finder to confirm but I am a bit worried as to his welfare.

The trail ran cold through the town, so headed off to another town hoping to find a trace of him. Driving through the main street we caught a sight of him through the trees but a truck then blocked our view and he was gone........This is the last confirmed sighting of Kimble. (UTM 54 H 0590217 5821863)
Located Kimble near the smelter but he saw us and ran. Managed to follow him through the city but lost sight of him momentarily. The spy kids are on his trail.....

I opened the cage to interrogate Kimble and he did a runner, thankfully some quick thinking had him subdued and hog tied for transport to a more secure location.
Stay posted for an update

Suspect is secure behind bars awaiting official transport.
Have the suspect in custody after a confirmed sighting at a nearby institution. Capture involved a long chase early in the morning.
Made plenty of noise when captured too.

Not knowing whether we should deport Kimble to the mainland we left it till the last moment and then...then it was too late. Before we knew it he had stowed away amongst our belongings - we had previously gagged him to keep him quiet and bound him tightly so he couldn't get free. We thought Perth would be nice but alas he somehow escaped our custody during our stopover in Adelaide. We were off sightseeing and when we returned he had gone. It was probably a false report but he was apparently sighted near Glenelg. 
We have grabbed Kimble - we are now awaiting orders and transportation arrangements.

Found him! But....don't know what happened but he made me put him back where he was found. (That sound obviously overtook the mental abilities to see what had to be done). Okay, the truth. Didn't notice that it was a moveable, phone showed no logs from previous cachers, couldn't find a log inside so replaced him where he was.
Aarrgh!

Be on the look out for the fugitive. He was in the process of being transported to the penal colony of Maria island when he escaped. He was last seen hitchhiking towards Swansea.

It was right on dusk at the end of netball and we stopped to grab a couple of caches. Looks like this one has fled the scene. If it's still there then it was too dark to see 
Cheers Quilter
Cheers Quilter Following a conversation at the recent event at Fern Tree, thoughts were that this cache may have disappeared or may have been muggled. Played golf at New Norfolk today and checked in on it. Still there waiting to be found again - please don't leave me there much longer - it gets cold and a little damp at times; Cheers the Fugitive. Further cheers from OldSaint.Had a look for the fugitive, but either he has escapped or he has drowned in the attempt.
Possible also was hidding from me

I left him at the boat ramp as ge said these Nomads may help me achieve my ultimate escape. Check him quick as he may drown if the river comes up unexpectedly. Cheers OldSaint.
Found the fugitve at 0840hrs in pursuit of a one armed man, who disappeared into the bush headed for New Norfolk. The fugitve returned for another drink of water before thumbing a ride with me toward New Norfolk where I dropped him off!! TFTC OldSaint.
As we were making our final approach to the Risdon Gaol to hand over this felon who had been on the run for way too long he absconded [yet again] and ran off into the nearby Risdon Brook Park. As he ran he was yelling, "I need a drink of WATER" [HINT]. Very strange indeed!! How close did we get to having him securely locked up for good!
Heading south so decided to detour via Long Hill forestry and see if we could catch a glimpse of this illusive fugitive we have always seemed to just miss before. Found him cold and lonely hiding in a wrecked car. He gave little resistance, it was early and he was probably still half asleep. He just gave a squeal when we nabbed him. Bit disappointing really we had come armed with all sorts of paraphenalia to help us get him. Anyway, he's safely in the car and on the way to Risdon right now. Mind you if he becomes a nuisance we might just leave him securely tied up somewhere for someone else.
Kimble and co have been under interrogation. Unfortunately inept agents allowed Kimble and Co. to seize control of the vehicle while being transported to neutral interview facilities and Kimble quickly escaped down forestry tracks going past Long Hills. Lookout guards on the hill noticed the escape and quickly blocked the road forcing the fugitives off the road and down a small embankment. Guards having a Long View were able to snap off a few images of Kimble and Co. staggering up the slope awap from the crashed car with the "booty". What have the villains "bumped off" this time?
Agents have found the fugitive loitering and obviously needing treatment, more infromtation becoming available after intense interogation.
Rated: for Overall Experience
News Flash: A confirmed sighting! Was he seeking treatment? He disappeared before he could be detained!
Kimble seems to have no problems gaining assistance to stay on the run. Look out for another bulletin later today.

Picked up when driving past this morning, I have just read that he can only be picked up every 3rd time, so I am happy to just move him and not log a find if anyone would prefer.
A rendezvous was arranged to collect the mini-cacher from a night with "Nan & Pop". During the transfer the fugitive made a dash for freedom. He was last spotted heading for the lower carpark.
Once again the Erwins have dashed earlier than the Carrolls....the Fugitive is still a fugitive!
We made an early morning dash before school/work to pick him up before he eluded us again. We must have caught him off guard judging by the squeal he let out when we grabbed him!
The Fugitive is now under guard in a new location
Found him loitering near the highway, time for a new location to lay low where not so many people know him
Back out on the run…. Think he’s trying to get out of this town so have dropped him off on the outskirts of town to see if this road will lead him on the right path to his next location….. good luck…..
Finally tracked this guy down.... doesn’t know who got the biggest fright when I apprehended him lol…. I’m sure all the previous finders of this guy can appreciate what I mean by that…. Will get his back out on the run very soon ….like in a hour or so…. TFTC

Having recovered from his over indulgence he wanted a change of scenery so we found him a spot with plenty of vehicle options.
Found him sleeping it off in a shelter. Too many beverages I assume. Will seek a new hide while we sober him up.
Rated: for Overall Experience
He advised us that he liked the local beverage so after a night with us we found him a safe place to hide out that he might like.
We have taken Dr Kimble into protective custody, will find a safe house for him in a couple of days.

Urgent request from Kimble. Leprechauns would be frequenting the area in honour of a guy named Pat. He wanted out.This enigmatic troubled man headed eastwards, thankful that the silver of a bright moon had passed.

In his request for time to heal and view mankind from a different perpective whilst awaiting his re-incarnation, Richard Kimble is not residing in warmer climes.

He appeared from nowhere, staggering in a debilitated state,incoherent in speech, an agitated man, a fugitive from society.Refuge was given. Time is a healer. As his body mended and his anxiety diminished a story emerged of a wrongful arrest for the murder of his wife, his escape from custody and his constant searching for the truth. He had become a man of stealth and deception. He has in his possession a document that a Fred Johson is a strong suspect for his wife's murder. He believes that the brother of F.Johnston, a recently resigned police commissioner may be involved in the conspiracy. The brother goes by the aliases of Hungry Jack, Big Mac or Thick Shake.
A journey to a place of rest has given Richard Kimble time for reflection.

After some prolonged questioning (sorry bout that), Kimble made a daring escape from the moving geomobile. Teentatts last seem him on the corner. While we had Kimble in custody we found him to be a very 'guard'ed man.
Eating that last bit of cheese made KIMBLE a bit slow!! We were able to nab him quite quickly, although he gave teencacher a fright and she almost dropped him on his head (was very funny I have to admit).

Had to recapture this elusive villain once again and just as I had him in my grasp he managed to flee once again. Last seen heading for a supply of 'Cheesy' delights.
reached gz but were unable to apprehend kimble he didn't want to show himself to us. If his personality is so magnetic his hiding spot may have disappeared along with him, we will keep an eye out for him.
Although I assume The Fugitive is in the custody of SiriusTas, I thought I would stop by and ensure that he is not still on the loose. I couldn't find The Fugitive at GZ, but was somewhat intrigued by the colour of the water.
Finally cornered this SOB....started squealing too...but soon shut him up. I'll try hard not to let him escape...especially knowing his reputation...Cheers.

After a lengthy period of time in which the status of the Fugitive was unknown-- possibly apprehended by police, abducted by aliens or abducted by alien police-- Kimble has once again reappeared. We believe he has had himself cloned in order to continue his existence. This Kimble is for all intents and purposes identical to the original Kimble and must be hunted down as soon as possible before he escapes again. Agent Hookline and her partner have traced his location to a corner of downtown Burnie...
Just received word that kimble has been sighted in the northwest. Agents are trying to flush him out now.
Unfortunately KIMBLE has managed to escape. There has been no new intel on him in recent months and as such this matter is going into the Cold Case filing cabinet for now. Maybe in the future more information will come to light and the matter will be reactivated.
I had no luck either... starting to look like the fugitive may have been apprehended!
Reckon he's been apprehended by those further up the stairs. May need checking on his where abouts??

looked and looked again ( is that 2 dnf's?) on the wayback on the i love maccers iced coffee and free wifi trip but the handsome fugitive eluded us.
And you believed him?
I suspect he was protesting his innocence so loudly you thought this was the only way you could get him to shut up.

He said he was innocent, so we let him go...
Kimble has escaped!! After cleverly eluding capture by both Sirius and the local cops, he was finally apprehended by the hookline team. A frightening struggle ensued, but the menace was eventually subdued and thrown in our car, and driven off for some intense questioning (and hysterical laughter)...

Looks like Mr Kimble has found his way to local lockup....and he wasn't coming out...no siree. So left him to sweat it out some more.

We transported Mr Kimble to our private detention chamber. Thinking we could restrain him long enough for the professionals to transport him for trial. He did need minor medical attention due to his rough capture but he was recovering well.
We successfully handed Mr Kimble on to the local authorities after checking credentials. However somehow the "professionals" let him slip right through their fingers.

The Faltig Team ran into the Fugitive in Ulverstone. Yes Robtas it scared the s%#& out of them too. I am sure he will be back in the wild shortly. While he was trapped in our trunk I did here him mumble something about hiding under "their" noses next time.

Came across this little trouble maker with Cached whilst scrolling the streets of the inner city
Well after the Hobart event we decided to try and track down this villain,
He couldn't be located in the dark so we pitched the tent close by to make sure he couldn't make his escape till morning,
Was finally located in the wee hours on the 26th by the junior member of the search party who couldn't sleep,
While the older member caught up on some beauty sleep, (not working)
He was taken captive after a short struggle that almost found the junior member falling into a river,
Supposedly (as the story was told)it was from the fright of the HUGE (probably tiny) black spider that was hiding behind the Fugitive and not the Fugitive himself who would I am sure have put up some sort of struggle,
Said fugitive was held captive for quite some time (forgotten about) as we tried to navigate our way around the city,
Again proving to be a slippery customer he has made his escape further north and was last seen loitering about THE STABLES but as he has kept 3 STEPS UP on us for most of the day we were unable to locate him again,

This creature is on the run again. Last seen heading north.
He only got 3 hours limit to hide in this place but he extended, and got caught. Now he is under overnight guard before getting transfer to "OZ".
Darn Fugitive. Had him in custody and gave him medical treatment as he requested. He was detained for a period to ensure that he was safe to be transported.
En route to HMP Risdon for detention he was suddenly ill. Stopped to check on him and he did the bolt!
He is loose somewhere in the Northern Suburbs.

Acting on a tip off I went to the Bellerive Quay and located Kimble hiding near the stage area waiting for a water taxi. I think he has been out in the weather too long, he sounds a little hoarse. I will hav to get him medical treatment before he is incarcerated.
I called into the shops to get some food on the way to the prison. I thought I had Dr Kimble well restrained in the back of the car and was only gone for less than a minute. I arrived back at the car just in time to catch a glimpse of Mr Kimble running towards the waterfront. I suspect he is trying to escape by boat as he knows airport security are on the lookout for him. The last I saw of him was in the vicinity of S42° 52.460' E147° 22.004'.
Apprehended him as he was about to board a plane at Hobart International Airport. He is currently on route to maximum security prison at Risdon. We will post more details when he is safely locked away.
Escaped again. Last seen heading towards the airport.
We caught him when he tried to phone someone for help. So now he is under detention.
We have had this guy under surveillance for quite some time now. We were about to apprehend him when we received notification that he was on the move again. We moved our surveillance team to his new hide, but were unsuccessful in locating him. He must truely be a master of disguise. We will continue to monitor him and will nab him when he least suspects it.
Been sitting in the one place for ages now, 2 people logged it and put it back, I've walked past a few times so this time felt compelled to do something about it.

Lunchtime, what'll I do ?? I know, let's go capture a fugitive 
Easily found him hidden away, snuck up on him but didn't expect the reaction I got. Luckily it's overcast and there weren't too many people around today. Managed to subdue him but didn't have a pen to tattoo my capture with
Before reading this had a couple of ideas as to where to incarcerate him but given his reaction on approach he escaped relocation. I'll have to rethink and may have to try and apprehend him again..

As per urch1949's log - this one has the potential of alerting the nearby muggles & was a big challenge to find (& then retrieve) in such a public area. Lots of fun though, and certainly caused some interest & discussion in our party over lunch. Sorry for not moving this one. TNLN - except some great memories. TFTC.

Considerable sleuthing was required to sneak up on the 'Master Builder' and he gave us some cause for alarm when we disturbed him. We then had to outwait nearby muggles for quite some time before he could safely return home. Sadly we were unaware that this was a moveable cache, so he remains in the construction game.
Thanks very much for the thrill of this find, Cheesy Pigs, and also for the enjoyable night's event to follow!
