That is nice of you to do that. A nice idea, good luck with it.

Many thanks all. I have now removed it from my cache page. Something else I have learnt about geocaching.

So............if i am reading the answers correctly here,,,,...........I can mark as missing a TB that is showing as in one of my caches
This has been showing as in my cache for the past 2 years, but it isn't in it. So even though it isn't my TB I can mark it as missing? Or am I wrong?
2.5. Mark Missing - Trackable on page but not there physically.
http://support.Groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=152
Sometimes, a Trackable has been physically removed from a geocache, but the finder does not log it online. The Travel Bug or Geocoin icon on remains the geocache page, and geocachers can be frustrated when they arrive at the geocache to find it missing.Don't despair if a Trackable goes missing. In many cases it has been moved to another geocache but the last person didn't know how to log it. The next geocacher who finds it will log the find.
If you are the owner of the Trackable, or the owner of the geocache where the Trackable is listed, you can mark the item as missing. This will remove it from the geocache inventory, and place the Trackable in an "unknown location." This will not effect the mileage of the Trackable. Later, if the Trackable is found, it can be grabbed and placed into the correct location. Mileage will be calculated from its previous location.
To do this, go to the Trackable's page, and choose from among the "Trackable Item Options." If you are the Trackable owner, it will say "Recalculate distance." Click on this menu and select "Mark bug missing". If you are the geocache owner, the menu will already be on the "Mark bug missing" option. Click "Go" and when the page refreshes, at the top it will ask "Are you sure you want to mark this Travel Bug missing?" Click "Yes" to complete the action.
When you mark a Trackable missing, a log to the Trackable's page will be auto-generated under your name, explaining the Mark Missing log.
If you are not the Trackable owner or geocache owner and notice that a Trackable is not in a geocache, you can use the Trackable's reference number to log a note to the Trackable listing telling the owner that the Trackable is not there. Or you can email the geocache owner or the Trackable owner and point them to this Knowledge Book page. As a courtesy, it is nice to email the Trackable owner first.

Thank you

Same problem with me, whenever I put in a postcode to search for a cache in an area I will be visiting in the next few weeks, it tells me cannot find postcode, postcode correct though.
-
When I saw the title to this thread my first thought was that someone had gone WAAAY over the line in making a "personalized" TB!
Love that......... -
Great to hear of TB's coming back after being MIA . I wish some of mine would come back into circulation. Still great to hear this.
-
Lovey story, gives hope to us all who have not heard anything of our TB's in months. When I take a TB I like to look where it has travelled on the map. I have one just now which is far travelled including a number of different countries.
-
Am I too late to join in the fun?

Lol Roamin'Catholic lets hope it gets back to you. No I didn't attach the lobster, he/she is in the dining room sat on a chair along with Rocky the bear who I bought aboard the Rocky Mountaineer a couple of years ago.
Wishing you and your family a lovely christmas and all the best for the new year,

At most I only retrieve one or two TB's but that is only because I feel I can handle a couple. We found some lovely ones in Edinburgh last week unusual ones, well we hadn't seen these types before, quite a few in that particular cache we visited but I just took one and dropped one in from a cache from my town. I suppose if folk know they are going to move that many asap, then I wouldn't mind one of mine being one of them. So annoying if they are not moved and just forgotten about. I like to look at Time to time at TB's I have moved in the past just to see where they are and hopefully still moving. This is such a fun sport.
The TB I got from the christmas card/post card/ TB exchange recently we placed in a chache in Edinburgh, then in less than an hour it was picked up and now into another cache. I am trying to see if it can make it's way back to Baltimore,well at least I am optimistic
-
We are just back from 2 nights in Edinburgh and managed to find a couple of geocaches. I have dropped the TB that came in my christmas card/TB swap into a cache in the city, and lo and behold it was taken by another cacher the same day. So hopefully *crosses fingers* the Baltimore/Ayr TB, for that is what I called it as it came from Baltimore is soon on it's travels. I have given it as it's mission, to get back to Baltimore and into a nearby cache for the sender to receive it back. At least I am optimistic !

Thank you Toho_NL. Yehhhhhh think we have done it, at least it looks as if the photo is there at long last.
Thank you very much, merry christmas from Scotland.

So far a favourite TB I have found and it wasn't in a cache or at an event, was on a little dog's collar. Last year as I was standing talking to a man with a little dog I glanced at the dog and I noticed she had a TB attached to her collar. I was so please lol that I spotted it. The man was walking the dog for his geocaching son. And I wasn't even out caching at the. time ;-)
-
I know what you mean, I'm less than a year into geocaching and I have around 27 out and about. I'm always looking at stuff to turn into a tackable. Old belt buckle, wife's necklace pendant, key chain, little brothers star wars action figures...none are safe as long as I have an unactivated TB in my hand.
-
Ok, Toho NL, here goes!
It just will not recognise it as a photo.................... Okay Gumbys4eva. Once your children show you, please send them to us to show us lol

Can someone kindly tell me how to add a photograph to the The 2013 TB christmas card postcard mission please. I have looked at the symbols above this posting but cannot see how to add one. I am on an Ipad at the moment if that is of any help.
Thank you
Had a look on the lap top as well but still cannot see how to add the photo I see the icon at the top of the posting space, but it asks for a http: I am stuck!
Told you I am no techie -
Same here, i sent mine off a week past Monday so hopefully it is in the USA by now. Unless the sniffer dogs at the post office and airports are wondering what is in it
And on reading the customs form stuck to the package I sent they will be thinking.....what's a TB tag? -
