+Stewlana Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 (edited) Hi, we are fairly new to this fun game but i do have a question. With one of our hides, I recieved an email yesterday that it was found. GC4GX6N "Edward Butts" The finders name is souvenir_collector here is their profile info http://coord.info/PR8X701. When I pulled up this cache to read what they put in the log, there is nothing there. When I pulled up this persons profile, it showed they became a member yesterday (8/6/13). I looked then under the geocaches tab to see the finds/hides for them, there is nothing there. (I looked again today and still blank) But,when I look at the souvenirs for this person yesterday the page is full of them. but then when I looked again today, the souvenir page on them is now empty How can someone become a member in one day, show no finds on their profile and have a full page of souvenirs one day and none the next?? Am I missing something? I did notice that today it does say that the email feature has been disabled because this person is locked. Does this mean it was all bogus?? Just wanting to clarify. It is just wierd. Edited August 7, 2013 by Stewlana Quote Link to comment
+J Grouchy Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Perhaps they are logging a find to get a souvenir, then deleting the log...? I haven't done it, so I have no idea if the souvenir stays even if the log is deleted. Quote Link to comment
+Hemorrhage Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Sounds like they were logging caches to get souvenirs and yhen deleting the logs. The souvenir will remain even after the log is deleted. Groundspeak must have gotten wind of it, and locked their account Quote Link to comment
+Stewlana Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 That is kinda what I was thinking, but it really threw me I had gotten excited that another one of ours was found only to be disappointed. Thanks for the answers! Quote Link to comment

Check out this bumped thread: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=308611 Somebody must have reported the account, as it is now locked and the souvenirs have been removed. Thanks, Groundspeak. B. Edited August 7, 2013 by Pup Patrol Quote Link to comment

The souvenir will remain even after the log is deleted. Groundspeak must have gotten wind of it, and locked their account I had to change a 'Found it' log to a 'DNF' today and the souvenir was still there afterwards (see this cache, if anyone's interested).
