You will be seeing how much we care about that souvenir you couldn't be bothered to give us in about a month when I won't be renewing. You had time to do artwork and hype but not enough to add it to the accounts that logged for it? Ridiculous.

Thanks for all the good info and links. Not sure if this is related BUT I adopted one of the coins out to a premium status friend and the owner notifications worked fine for him right away. At the time I adopted the coins, I was not premium so that MAY be part of the bug or perhaps the adoption code has been updated in some other way since my adoptions that causes it to work now? I can't find anything in the knowledge base particularly about adoption/premium/notification bugs, if anyone can point out a link, feel free.

Is there info somewhere with exactly what all the coin management options do and what they're for and maybe most important what order you do them in to get the desired results? I am trying to get a couple of coins marked location unknown but I feel like I'm going around in circles what with grabbing and archiving and just generally being lost with the management tools. Also, my trackables that I activated personally, I get emails every time they move around or get logs, but the ones I adopted I do not, and now I've missed a golden opportunity to see one that I've never seen in person... it was on my island only a couple miles from me most of the summer and I didn't know it! Now just this past week it looks like it's on it's way to Germany and I've missed it. I looked on the coin's page for hours trying to figure out how to activate email updates to no avail and also trying to get a couple other coins that are missing in action to say location unknown... it's all very frustrating... Any help, pointers, info URLs or anything else greatly appreciated.

Knowing the area helps a lot (and I do) and I'd say it's private security as pickups are generally down on the beach/blvd level, not up in the hills... at least back in the day. On another note, NOT knowing the area shouldn't have really been any concern and specifically pointing out that the whole world doesn't know where Mulholland Drive is or what PCH is... frankly not believable. These roads are very famous, but not knowing them only makes the situation OP describes "creepy" and knowing them actually makes it slightly less so as it's not a nasty area. But making a "thing" about saying you never heard of them is irrelevant, is in no way even called for by anything the OP said and only proves you: A) certainly never watched CHiPs or any other LA based TV show exported to 100+ countries probably never read a single LA based mystery novel, some of which are true classics C) never watched a single LA based movie, some of which are also true classics All are unbelievable if you ask me, but if you honestly fall under one of those excuses, I suggest you get a library card and try to stop fantasizing that most of the whole world doesn't know things about LA. Saying it's "typical American egoism" that makes people think otherwise is a total cop out. Book readers and movie watchers the world over DO know about LA through movies and books. Deal and try not to be such haters just cuz you can't get your California on. OP: You are MUCH braver than I am. I still find it nearly impossible to cache alone in broad daylight in one of the nicest neighborhoods in North America. I could have never kept going to the point you did... props. A nice scary story for Halloween indeed, thanks for sharing.
