USB Dead Drops

Step 5: Prepare your drop point

Next you want to prepare your drop point. If need be you can use a drill and masonry bit to drill out enough space to fit your usb drive.

Once the hole it made place the usb drive in to see if it fits.

As a (formerly avid) geocacher, I've dealt with property owners' rights concerning placing geocaches. Caches are very temporary by nature. These deaddrops are very permanent. If I were a property owner who had my property defaced in such a manner I'd probably make destroying every deaddrop I could find a hobby. It wouldn't be too hard either. Considering each deaddrop is open to the public, a single wallop of a small hammer or other convenient object would make any deaddrop, well, dead.

I think I'd find a way to place a deaddrop without defacing property and with a way to replace a thumbdrive if it went bad. Otherwise, I see this as a bad idea.

What kind of drill are you using I only have a 9.6v cordless drill and you don't show much about what kind of drill your using so it would be nice to know.

Or you could just look for buildings that already have holes, for exampe and older brick building where the mortar may be giving out.

Question: Is it legal to randomly drill a hole on the side of a public building?

[Notbob]

Probably not, but just like street art - you need to get caught first.

"just like street art" in most cities in the U.S. it would be considered vandalism or graffiti, so it would more than likely be illegal. that being said, it is only illegal if you get caught.

This project not withstanding, there lies the base problem of morals and ethics in this country. Randomly drilling holes in a public building or any other building that YOU do not own is vandalism, graffiti. To say that it is only illegal if you get caught flies in the face of the spirit and letter of the law and our Constitution. This then really calls into question an individual's trustworthyness.

Man up.

[Foxtrot70]

Please explain. What does that mean?

[Trilby]

It means get over it.

[Foxtrot70]

AH...I see, it is ok then for anyone to be dishonest with you and to deface your property of which you are proud or maybe not. With out the laws and Constitution as guide lines to live by society decays to anarchy.

I wouldn't recommend drilling a hole in a random building. Besides the possibility of breaking the law, you don't know if there might be a gas/water pipeline or electrical wiring on the other side. Better to play it safe and stick to your own buildings so you can verify the blueprint first.
