+74vwBus Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hello. I made a TB and some one Grabbed it. But I never dropped it. Now it says that they have it and I cannot log visits with it. Please help me "get it back". Thanks Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 People are logging your trackable because the photo you posted on its page discloses the secret tracking number. First thing you should do is delete that photo. But, the number may already be in circulation on a list of "free trackables available for discovery." One log says they saw your bug on Instagram. Ultimately you may need to start over with a new tag if the unexpected logs continue. Have you tried grabbing back your trackable? Quote Link to comment
+Great Scott! Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Ditto for Ferdinand. Tracking number is shown in the picture. Use a photo editor to blur it out. Or take another picture with the tag flipped over to the other side. Quote Link to comment
+Bear and Ragged Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Agree! Really do need to be VERY careful with photos of TB's and Geocoins, that the tracking number is NOT shown. Applies to both your own, and those that you find! Quote Link to comment
+74vwBus Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Rookie mistake. Thanks! I deleted photos. Does that delete them from the gallery, also? Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment

+Gitchee-Gummee Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Yes, it deletes them from the gallery. Just so you are aware though, folks that get those numbers oftentimes put in on a circulation list for the friends that do the same, and their friends, and their friends........... Remember this -- many aren't aware -- if you photo the tracking number and use it as your default photo for the TB page, it is displayed in a photo gallery of nuttin' but new TB page photos. Those who do these virtual logs have and use that address daily, just to see what new ones pop up. It stays there for a month or so until it scrolls off, being replaced by newer ones.

As a noob I have made the same mistake. Luckily it hasn't come back to bite me.............yet. Quote Link to comment
