I am glad I was able to activate it !!!! (as the Groudspeak team responded in literally no time!). So it is now an item I can track, yeah ! ( that was precisely my concern, the next person would just take it and activate it.... hehe.... the good thing is the cache is a remote area, so chances were low)

Solved!!! The Groundspeak team replied in no time and gave me an activation code! Thanks!!!

Exactly the same happened to me today !!!!! :-( It was my second geocaching experience... just close to my first find. I decided to leave my brand new travel bug (a gift from a geocaching friend) in this second cache. I kept the travel bug marked "Copy" and left the other one, brand new in its original small plastic bag. When I came home, the trackable item page requires an activation code that I was not aware of!!! (I am new to geocaching!!!). So I believe the activation code is in the small bag with the cache, in a small piece of paper with the geocaching logo. I thought it was just a logo paper, advertising only. The cache is like 90 km north of our house...no chance we are going again any soon. And worst, we are leaving this country (Qatar) in a few weeks. I will write an email to contact@Groundspeak.com and see if they can get my activation code replaced.... This is my first travel bug placed, and I really want to be able to track it! Kesh2009
