Muggle: (or muggler) A non-geocacher. The discovery of a cache by a non-geocacher is a very real problem and a cache needs to have an identified purpose included in the container. When someone refers to a cache as having been muggled, it almost always means it was stolen or vandalized.

Micro (cache): Normally you would find a cache container. A smaller container called a "micro cache" is too small to contain items except for a log book. If you are visiting a micro cache you need to bring your own pen or pencil.
