+AlGaAlOz Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 We have released our TB in August 2011. He traveled 34413 km and was picked by a user im May 2015 (in New Mexico, USA). From this point, this user holds our TB and is not releasing it. I have tried to contact the user 2 or 3 times, but he is not answering messages (GC messenger or mail). Any idea what else I can do to get in touch with the user so he releases our TB? Thanks in advance. AlGaAlOz Quote Link to comment

I released a TB seven years ago and during the last year or so, the TB traveled to North Africa, and Spain with one geocacher. Edited March 4, 2016 by jeepdelfuego Quote Link to comment

Obviously, I cannot speak for anyone other than myself, but I think when TAF posted that message (with the inclusion of the smiley face) he/she was joking. Although I have to agree that DOING it would obviously be harassment (something I'd never take part in,) I'd like to think that having a laugh about it is simply freedom of speech.

+Eartha Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 It'a my job to make sure it's a joke and no one takes that post seriously. Quote Link to comment
+TheAuthorityFigures Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 uhm, yeah... it was a joke. wow. and now as my own little form of civil disobedience I will refuse to read the tos. Quote Link to comment
+BlackRose67 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I've got one that's been missing since August 2013. The family that has it (and 4 other travelers) is now inactive. They never responded to my e-mails. I'm going to re-release it and send it on it's way again and see how far it gets. TB's are hit and miss. 4 of the 6 I have released into the wild are missing. I do have one that has traveled 26,515 kms so far in only a few hops. Quote Link to comment

The problem is that the TB is NOT moving, and holder is not responding to e-mail or messages over geocaching.com Quote Link to comment
