I am really glad that I ran across this message board topic. In just the past week, I have placed a new cache with a new tb, placed a new tb at a cache that I was ftf, and found a cache that listed 17 tbs in the inventory, but only had two. My two tbs are no longer in either of the caches and have not been logged. I am quickly getting frustrated at one of the aspects of geocaching I love the most. After reading this thread, I realize that I need to be patient and hope for the best. I actually did send a nice email to the few that found the caches with my tbs, but no luck there.
I also have to admit that I was on the other end of a tb problem over a year ago when I was moving the first tb I ever found. I placed a tb very far away from home on a trip and forgot to log it (it was summertime), I didn't realize it until January. I then logged it, but soon after the owner marked it as missing. I still feel terribly guilty about my mistake.
