Move a trackable without the tracking number?

[+Delta68]

A couple of weeks ago we were out caching and lost a bumbag (it was accidentally left on the roof of the car ) containing, amongst other more valuable items, a geocoin we had just picked up an hour or so earlier.

 

We had not made a note of the tracking number so cannot move it from the cache inventory to the UK TB Graveyard.

 

Can this be done by anyone else?

What does marking an item as 'missing' (by the cache owner) do to it?

 

 

 

 

Thanks

You can trace it back to its owner from the cache where you found it. Inform them and they can deal with it,

eg by logging it into an archived cache.

Oh yeah, I hadn't noticed that owners of trackables could see the tracking code.

 

We did email the owner but got no reply/repsonse

The correct way to deal with a missing trackable is for the owner to mark it as "Missing". The owner of the cache where it was last seen, can also do this.

 

TB Graveyards are - to use a good old-fashioned computer word - "deprecated", meaning not liked by TPTB.

 

If neither the owner of the trackable nor the owner of the cache doesn't care, there's not a lot you can do, but that seems reasonable - it's their TB/coin/cache.
