A buried geocaching box prompted an evacuation of Fairview High School in Boulder today while officials determined what was in it.

A teacher called from the school at 1515 Greenbriar Blvd. at 11:40 a.m. today, after seeing "a man and a woman burying some kind of box near the stone sign in front of the school," a police news release said. They drove away in a cream-colored SUV with Nebraska license plates.

Officers went to the school and decided to evacuate the building while they investigated the box.

Students were moved to Southern Hills Middle School, at 1500 Knox Drive, and Fairview High School was closed for the rest of the day, police said.

Geocachers use handheld GPS devices to pinpoint hidden caches filled with trinkets.
