Accidentally put a trackable in an unpublished cache.

Sent in an new cache some days ago and accidentally dropped a trackable that I didn’t actually put in the cache.

I deleted the log but the trackable still shows up on the cache page and isn’t in my inventory.

Is my only option to do a “grab it” log?

The cache isn’t published yet.

I think so, but if you contact your reviewer BEFORE if it published maybe they do their magic to restore the TB to your inventory. Quite possible they cannot.

This has happened to me *twice* today.  It's happened before.  And every time, it's several steps instead of one to fix the problem. 

 

First I accidentally dropped *all* of my TBs into my own event, rather than just the ones I was passing along.  Had to look up the codes to retrieve the rest since HQ hasn't implemented any sort of "undo" for a drop or log and hasn't added a "yoyo" feature for events, caches, etc. (ie. one button that you can click to pull all of *your* owned TBs back into your inventory from that event/cache).  Later, I did a Write Note on a cache that might be unavailable, thinking nothing of it; at the very end of the evening, I happened to check my email and saw that every one of my TBs had been dropped into the cache for which I'd done that Write Note.  And that was before I physically went and found six or seven caches. 

 

As we've all discovered, deleting the Write Note didn't bring my TBs back >:(  So now I have to manually re-grab each of them (ugh) and then manually edit the logs for each of the caches I visited tonight to dip the TBs into each. 

 

Royal pain, this is.  Waste of an hour or more to fix it when I could be sleeping >:(
