Well, here I am again. Missing TBs still abound with all of our TBs. I wish Groundspeak had a tab on our caches where we could list "no longer in this cache". I still come up missing TBs, in spite of writing the people who should have them. I still run into my asking please notify me if you are going to hold on to them and I still run into going to a TB Hotel, only to find none in them. My daughter has a hotel and has asked specically, please trade TBs or do not take them with you. People often, write they took one, will return to trade later, etc., etc. and it never happens. When we place TBs out there, not only is it for everyones pleasure but the tags do cost us money. It isn't that much but.... I would like to see a way to ban people who will not at least respond to our querys from Groundspeak but guess that won't happen.

I too ,am fairly new in Geocaching and was tickled pink to get my own tbs going..only to be really disappointed. Out of 4 I putout there, two were not logged except in cache log. Both were brand new tbs. One of them, I have contacted the people who have it and they claim they are too busy right now to place it. I offered to send a postage paid box for my bug and my daughters bug, which they also have..no response. It is rather turning me off to the fun of owning my own caches or tbs. Can't people be fair? Donig this hobby is fun and with a disable husband, allows us to choose what we can do, terrain wise. Part of the fun for him is to be able to track caches and tbs while I am gone. I know the amount of spoilers for this hobby is a small percentage but it does discouage me. Thanks for allowing my input
