Question about lost but found trackable.

[+gnarkilljboy]

I guess it was not really lost. I found a trackable that was in a storage box, from when I moved back in 2019. I haven't played since then, as I was dealing with some personal issues, so I never knew that I still had it in my possession. I am going to Europe in a few days, and love to be able to move this along. Is there a way to check if its not archived? I am going to message the owner and let them know.

Post a Note log, and of that works, the item is not locked.  Might as well post something, the owner will have been wondering what the deal is.

 

Are there logs about it being moved to a Collection? Does the trackable's page show it "in the hands of [the owner]"?

 

Is there text in the description of logs where the owner is asking for help finding it, or specifying what to do if it's found?

The TB is listed in the hands of OP. I don't see any logs after his last one for that TB in 2019.

Then it's not out of play.  The OP could make a log about intentions, and carry out those intentions.  Then place the item into a cache and make the proper logs.  If it was me, I'd do some spectacular cache Visits along the way (ONLY a handful at most), with nice photos and stories for each Visit, and especially Trackable portraits (with NO tracking number in view!). This is a resurrection after all, make it count.  Because once it's placed, it will be taken and thrown in a drawer and ignored again you never know what may happen.

I wish I had done this… I just checked on a 5-year missing trackable that I had found last year & had simply placed into another cache - it has gone missing again
