Virtual Cachemugglers....Suggestions please

[+BVnLJ]

What can be done about a "cachemuggler" who appears to be moving geocoins virtually. He "placed" four geocoins/travelbugs yesterday in the following areas. Alaska, Afghanistan, Zimbobwe, and Seychelles. My niece is a geocaching fanatic and loves, loves, loves geocaching. She is at her wits end with this muggler. He seems to be following her trackables, and taking them as soon as they are placed. Any suggestions other than the obvious of not placing anymore trackables???

If they are your trackables, you can delete the logs

 

Otherwise, you could e-mail the owners of the trackables and call their attention to the bogus logs

 

Maybe whoever is making the phoney entries will grow tired of it if they dissappear

Please email the contact address. The practice is no longer tolerated.

 

Edited to add that I see they already know what this user is doing. Passing it on to the contact address is still best. Some people just like to be jerks.

Part of the problem is that the tracking numbers are visible in your photos. This allows any one that views the TB/Coins page to log it. When you take the photo take it so the tracking number is not visible or edit it to remove the number.

 

Have fun and happy caching!

A coin appeared in my cache in Alaska and I repoted him to Contact@

I took three coins to yosemite

in hopes of finding a cache nearby. I didn't

have time. But I wanted to log them in

anyway. So I did, into to a virtual in

the park. Then I took them

out when I got home and placed them

in real caches. Is this considered ok?

 

Newbie asken questions,

thanks for being nice

You can log coins and TBs into and out of virtual caches. As long as you found the cache. No problem.

You cannot take the tracking number of a coin or TB you never even saw, and log it. That's virtual logging. This is why we should always be aware of the tracking number when taking photos of TB's, especially if it's not your own TB. And never post or display the number in public.
