Thank you everyone for your encouraging comments. I was quite dispondent when I launched this discussion and I am now extremely happy that I am a member of a community that is not only honest but a great gang to be a member of. I hope I didn't offend anyone with my rather sharp approach. I will continue to send out coins and bugs and hope that one day my coin will emerge with great stories of its secret un-logged voyage. Thanks again and Happy caching. Kind Regards Dave (lavalake)

Perhaps I am confused however I paid for a GeoCoin, activated it and sent it on its way with a mission. My coin only made a couple of hundred miles when it went mising. I notice a whole raft of forums selling coin collections. Is it possible that my coin has been 'Collected?' I didn't want the coin collected - I wanted it to have a healthy life travelling the world. Is this normal? Are the 'collections' being sold in this forum personal items or coins that have been 'stolen?' Why should I bother to send out another coin or a TB? Thanks in anticipation for your coments.
