"I'll make sushi."

The Abduction geohash is an enhanced Meet-Up Achievement. It can be earned by meeting a complete stranger at a geohashing meetup and inviting them into your home. Of course asking over a friend that you dragged along doesn't count. Preparing dinner is not mandatory. But it is - contrary to swords and knives, which should only be shown afterwards - a permissible means of persuasion. How to convince someone you have just met to come with you without sounding like a complete psychopath is your own problem.

This Achievement could have been named "hospitality award" but Kliment wanted to scare off other geohashers from striving for it.

Proof

It should be sufficient if another geohasher testifies that they were inside your home just after getting to know you at a meetup. Photographic proof might work as well. A detailed report is even better.

Winners

The following Geohashers have won this award, and have supplied proof.
