Groundspeak is aware of theft of coins for coin collecting. There is nothing they can do. The best thing to do if you don't want a geocoin stolen is not send any out, or make proxies (copies of your own coin) and send them out instead.
-
Well, nothing, unless you plan on reselling it. and then it will depend on the coin.
-
Also, there is always a possibility that the next finder of the cache picked up your coin but forgot to log it or forgot they picked it up. You might try shooting off an email to those that located this cache right after you placed your coin to see if they might have your coin, or if they even saw it in the cache.

Hello!
I placed a geocoin in my very first cache, yeah figured I would jump right in, and I registered it, gave it a goal and all that.
It seems to have gone missing (someone took it and forgot to log it, lost it, or worse)...what I am curious about is this.
How long would you wait before you take the coin out of that cache inventory so it is not listed there falsely? Can I even do that or does the CO have to remove it?
Just don't want someone going there looking for the coin there and not finding it there.
I placed it on 04/07/2013
Thank you!!
You can probably bet the coin is gone for good, but even if you mark it 'missing' it does not prevent someone from grabbing it if by chance it does turn up again. You, as the coin owner can mark it 'missing' or the cache owner and you can even just 'grab' it back since you have the tracking code and make a proxy or copy coin to send out if you want.

On the trackables page after you click on 'edit this trackable' in the dialog box click on 'source' and try typing again. see if that works.

Aloha,
I have been watching some listings on Ebay since I found a person selling an "activated" travel bug that s/he did not own. I think this is very appalling that people would steal trackables and coins and list them for sale on Ebay. Here's an example of ones that I have already contacted that responded to my query that they are not the original owner, they do not know how to activate coins or if the coins listed are currently activated and that they do not know the process of adoption. I have responded that if they are not familiar with the coins that they need to read up on them and gave them the link as they could be perceived as stealing coins and they should look up the ones that they have by tracking number to make sure of their status, but please be aware that this practice is going on.
Due to the stuff I have seen on trackables being lost, if you buy on Ebay, make sure that the item is clearly listed as being unactivated or activated AND adoptable before bidding or buying.
Hope this helps!
What evidence do you have that this person is selling coins that do not belong to them? Do you have the tracking numbers?

Okay back to square one. They had 3 in stock when I clicked on the space shuttle geodesic geocoin. I got the rest of my order today but no geodesic geocoin, Boy am I disappointed.
So, again, does anyone have the Space Shuttle Geodesic Geocoin they would be willing to sell?

Preferably in the silver, but the gold one will do.
Sorry to hear that. I don't have a silver but I have a gold one I can sell to you. Message me.

Well take whatever you have, let me know please!

The Great thing about Geocaching is that there will always be new caches published with new chances to be 'FTF'
I don't know that *you* mean by "always" but where I live there have been only 2 new caches published within 15 miles since the beginning of the year.
Maybe YOU should place some.

I have several TB's that have been lost. I plan to re-use the numbers and re-release them. My issue is that when I go to edit this trackable. I am able to change the TB name and add a new picture, but I am unable to change anything else. The old TB page says current goal and about this item. On the edit page there are sections for mission and description. My old goal does not show up on the edit page and I am unable to insert text into the text boxes on the edit page.
Has anyone else had this problem? can anyone help me?
mine seems to be working, did you go to 'edit this trackable' and then on that page go to the dialogue box below and type in your goal or description - if not allowing you to type, try clicking on the 'source' button.

I'd love to find an ammo can. Here in Australia guns aren't as widely available at USA so in my 70ish finds I have never seen one and would love to!
I am pretty sure you can find Ammo Cans on Ebay.

Millionaire Hides Treasure In New Mexico
Three years ago, New Mexico multimillionaire Forrest Fenn was diagnosed with cancer. Realizing that he can’t take his riches with him when he passes, he hid a treasure worth over a million dollars somewhere in the mountains near Santa Fe. Clues to finding the treasure can be found in his memoir, "The Thrill Of The Chase." The treasure has yet to be found, and now a cancer-free Fenn hopes that people will use the treasure hunt as a way to appreciate nature. Good luck everyone!

Recently I have been using Military First Aid Kit containers. They are about double the size of a decon containter and are only 3 bucks at our nearest army surplus store. They can be hung up in arborvitae or laurel bushes easily and are a decent sized cache.
-
I always put an unactivated coin with my caches for FTF prizes, some are actual FTF coins and some are just various micro coins, but I never activate them I leave that for the cacher that finds them first. It's a great incentive.
-
Oh sorry, I understand if it is there own coin that they can keep it, but I meant the cachers who steal from other cachers like what GeoMinions said. Do any "high statistic" or normal cachers actually steal other coins out of caches?
Most geocachers play the game with integrity and pick up and move the trackable items correctly as is intended. But there are a few bad apples who retrieve the geocoins and TB's in the caches and will keep them. It's too bad that this happens, but since Groundspeak does not require people to pay for a membership, anybody can create an account and unfortunately some do just to go after trackable items, if you want to help prevent these items from disappearing, you can try and only place them in Premium Member only caches. But there are no guarantees that they still won't disappear.
-
They love the game and they still collect geocoins and trackables and you aren't supposed to do that. On the blog it asked if people collect them and most of the cachers who answered said yes. What's up?
Actually 'Collecting' Geocoins are the ones you have legitimately purchased or they were given to you, or you earned someway in a challenge or whatever. They are YOURS, the ones that people take from a cache and then keep, is not really collecting. It's stealing....

tried to update the coins i have for trade by copying from others pages and get this error:
Notice: Undefined variable: Recordset1 in /home/cointrac/public_html/copyCoin.php on line 9
Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/cointrac/public_html/copyCoin.php on line 9
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/cointrac/public_html/copyCoin.php:9) in /home/cointrac/public_html/copyCoin.php on line 27
Copying...
any thoughts?
ILYKI also get that same message, but noticed that the action of copying the coin to my list does still happen, have you checked to see if your 'copies' are there?
-
STILL not working right. now i get a error page that says something like undefined variable when i try to add a coin.
You may want to contact Marc @ cointracking, he is open to suggestions on issues.
Anybody knows mr & mrs loggerhead?

The same thing happened to me with the same geocachers, I finally contacted Groundspeak with my dilema, and they were able to transfer ownership of the coin to me. Maybe you can do the same.
