Ok, so I open a cache to find a travel bug dog tag attached to a pink plastic pig torch with LED's for nostrils. It's obviously been handled, the tag is pitted from corrosion, and is a copy. Funny thing is it's logged into the cache, so I log onto geocaching.com to inform the owner their piggy torch is found only to be told the tag has not been activated?!?!?!
That just cannot be right since it's a copy, and it's is 100% a geoaching.com/ground speak tag... so what's going on? I tried a search for "pig" and "torch" in the names area with no results (might not be in english). No way of knowing who dropped it into the cache, since it's not in the caches history or mentioned in a log.
The only thought I had was that it might have been archived after being assumed AWOL. Do they do that? And if they do, is there a way of searching the archives? Even if it has been, surely the database would not offer activation.....
Thoughts? I'd really like to re-unite this bug with it's owner, or get it moving again.
Thanks
