+cmanofmaps Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Apologies if this has been covered before but I haven't been able to find an answer to this question. I have a TB that I grabbed from a cache five years ago and shortly after got out of geocaching. I recently got back in the game but the TB (unfortunately) got lost somewhere in the midst of life happening and then a cross country move, never to be seen again. I haven't been able to figure out a way to remove it from my personal inventory. The only answers I've been able to find are related to clearing out a TB from a cache inventory; however this one is listed as being in my hands. Is there a way to mark such a TB as missing?

+IceColdUK Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Only the trackable owner or the owner of a cache with the trackable in its inventory can mark it as missing. https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=41&pgid=397 Have you let the TO know? If you have, but have had no response, I guess you could drop it into one of your own caches, and mark it as missing from there. Quote Link to comment

Noticed you didn't mention the Trackable Owner. They're the one who has a long-missing trackable in limbo somewhere. If you haven't notified the TO in five+ years, that would be a good start. I know I'd appreciate someone being honest... We know a couple folks who "Drop" the trackable in one of their archived hides when no answer from the TO, and mark it missing. - That removes it from your inventory. Quote Link to comment

If it was my TB, I'd appreciate being told. That way I'd know it is definitely gone and I could re-send the code out on a proxy TB. Much better thing to do rather than just "making it disappear". 1 Quote Link to comment
