+LyndaM98 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Can I do that? I accidentally had the number showing in a photo and now I'm getting nothing but "virtual discoveries". Folks seem sincere enough, but it's kind of pointless. My fault, I know. I would never log a trackable I hadn't actually had in my hand and moved on. Also, I had my very first trackable go missing after the FIRST person found it. It went exactly 0 miles. That was a year ago. Thing is, this person seems to be a very diligent and active cacher. No response to my 2 queries. If it's lost, it's lost. Say so and move on! Heck, my son and I accidentally dropped a geocoin in the long grass and after searching for ages, we borrowed a metal detector and went back to FIND it. And we did. We put it in one of our own caches and I think it's now missing as well. I know it's the chance you take when you release a trackable, but it's very...disheartening. We have vowed from now on not to TAKE trackables unless we can move it within days. Quote Link to comment
+The A-Team Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I think those at Groundspeak can remove a listing, but I don't think you need to go that far. Just remove or edit the offending photo, and delete the clearly bogus logs. Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Learned a tough, but good lesson about showing numbers. By now, I wouldn't be surprised if you googled your trackable on images, it'd turn up there too. I often tell people if you want folks to learn, log 'em. The flood of emails get their attention.

+cerberus1 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 You also posted this in the TB forum and got a good reply from Eartha. You can probably get this one locked or merged through a mod. Quote Link to comment

Thanks! I think! Thing is I KNOW about the numbers! I just picked the best picture of the THING without paying attention to what else was showing. I initiated it, and we left to do some caching so I could drop the bug and only noticed after I went to log it into the cache. I hope it will move on soon. Lynda Quote Link to comment
