+Gps Storm Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 We have 2 Trackables out there that have been in the hands of Geocachers since June 2008 & July 2008. We have tried to contact them, but have received no replies. Does anyone out there in cacheland know or know where to get hold of "Vendits" & "Sneak"? All we want is our trackables to be returned to circulation, thats all!!! If you are also a victim to trackable hogs/Thieves, share your story here and name the culprit so that if someone out there knows them they might be able to help in getting contact details or getting the tracables back into circulation.

+Louise_Gerhard Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) We always keep an eye open on any TB that is moved or placed by us. I have two that disappeared in Bloemfontein. It is no longer in the caches. These caches were never muggled so it was removed by someone. Please if you have the coin or TB please place it in a cache somewhere. It is not a collector’s item and has no value to anyone except the owner. Details below. Kokoscoot's Finland Coin Lighthouse Tag I assume that Jack1809 moved the TB. If I am wrong please accept my apology. Details below. Cache Logs July 26, 2008 by Jack1809 (45 found) found it took the travel bug will help it to Johannesburg next week Nice and interesting cache Left coin July 9, 2008 by gerhardoosMPsa (650 found) Before we moved in to find the cache we had to watch the ostriches in this area. I really would not like to argue with them about the cache. I then walked down to the cache while keeping an eye open for the ostriches; at the cache location I was startled when a “koedoe” appeared from nowhere. I was too close to him for my liking. But it was a good experience – only had to change my underpants. Thanks for bringing me here. I enjoyed it a lot and we will visit the area again in the future. Cache is in good condition and is very dry. SL. Gerhard Edited February 19, 2009 by gerhardoosMPsa Quote Link to comment
+batsgonemad and his squirrel Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Always have hope, our race tb for 2007 went missing strangely enough in Bloemfontein also and it surfaced about a month ago in somebodys cache, it had just been dumped there by who i would love to know, so there is always hope well id like to think so.

+Skyjuggler Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I recentlly watched as the Animaniacs TB was placed in it's starting cache a couple of months ago and I was proud to be the first to help it on it's way. It was picked up a few weeks afterwards by an "Islandsurfer" in whose hands it's remained ever since. Must be uber-frustrating for owners to have their bits go missing... Quote Link to comment
+Carbon Hunter Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I must say - I think the Groundspeak system can contribute to newbies keeping TB's unwittingly. The first time I picked up a TB/GC - I was a loittle confused as to how to log it. If it could be included into the cache log requirements, it would be much easier. Quote Link to comment
+tomtwogates Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Anyone know the cacher Jugnaught - he took a coin of mine in 2008 - only did two caches and has never answered an e-mail. Long shot I know but was going through my dead soldiers! Quote Link to comment
+dfx Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 what happened to the warning message in your inventory when you had a TB for over 2 weeks? i remember that gc.com would show a red warning in the inventory when you had a TB for too long, is that still around? Quote Link to comment

Don't think that is still around, but they would not have seen that as they only did two caches and you actually have to look at your profile if it happens at all. As mentioned it is a long shot that some one out there might know them! Quote Link to comment
+hyper7pro Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 One of my only two TBs went missing a month after placing it in its first Cache. It was taken by Crous, whom I never heard from again. The other one has since gone to Finland. Cool! Quote Link to comment
+malo mystery Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I dont have any coins/bugs but can understand the frustration that you feel. It seems that there are cachers out there that set up floating email accounts like hotmail/gmail etc specifically for caching, that are not their primary email accounts and as a result if they stop caching or dont specifically use that email account regularly they dont see the messages. I have had this experience when trying to contact even the most active cachers. Something I might try is to go back and see when the cacher first started placing logs - maybe/hopefully you will see in his logs that it was his first cache and he was introduced by a more experienced cacher. Try contact the experienced cacher that hopefully is still caching and explain your story. Although some people might find this offensive, desperate times call for.......... Also look at the logs directly before and after the offending cachers logs - you might notice that someone else logged that they were introducing a new person to caching or taking them on their first cache. You might even notice that this offending cacher did several caches on certain dates and so did another cacher - maybe they know each other or perhaps just coincidental but worth a bash.
