Found Geocoin, owner did not drop

[jel123]

i found a geocoin in a cache, it is activated, the person that placed the geocoin did not "drop" it, how do I "receive" it? What happens if the owner continues on and doesn't drop? I emailed the person with no response. Thank you.

Give the dropper a couple of days to catch up with their paperwork, then just grab it. You have the coin with its secret number which allows you to grab it and drop it. If the previous person is taking forever to log it into the cache, the drop, you shouldn't be expected to wait forever.

 

From the coin's travel page you can assume the last person to log a grab or retrieval is probably the one who left it in the cache without logging it in. Let them know you're waiting on them so they can log their leg of the journey before you log yours.
