+RangerRicksClan Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I enjoy logging trackables. If I come across more than one I take a photo so I have the number (takes work) , post it, and am considerate to let owner know I found it and where it was. Especially if it has been missing for awhile. If I take a tbI pretty much do the same. (I don't show the tracking number in photos). Since this summer I have come across many "trackbles" that are for discovery only. I don't get it. I take the time and make the effort only to find out "who cares"? it can't be logged as found or moved. I have moved a few because I didn't know they don't want to be moved until I access the records on my computer once home from my vacation, for example. I have had some that say don't move me, or this is a copy ...the original is in another cache so discover only...don't retrieve or grab., I found 2 CITO containers recently in the same town. They said don't move them but had a tracking number. When logging them I "discovered", BUT they had the same number. They had been discovered in other states as well, at the same time. I logged 2 but only 1 is on my list as they were identical. WHY??? What is the point of these? I am getting to the point where I am suspicious. When on vacation I certainly don't want to waste my time on these. I do find "copies' of tb's but understand they disappear and the owner is protecting their investment. Still there is only 1 copy floating around. That is different. Can anyone explain this? If you look at my account you can see several since November. Quote Link to comment
+BlueDeuce Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 I only log TBs I actually move. Never been interested in getting icon candy by writing down a number. Maybe if I got points towards an itunes download it might be worth t. Quote Link to comment
+ncfinn Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Some people want to keep track of every single TB/GC they have ever seen. Quote Link to comment
+Panther&Pine Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 Well for some of us, it would mean that you took a person/backpack/car from the person it belongs with, so folks I've met have some very nice coins that they want to share, but not release to get lost/stolen. There should only be one item with per trackable number in circulation at any given time, those that use the same TB number on a number of items run the risk of getting their number shut down.
