strange distance on Trackables

[+Wasp92andBee91]

Hey everyone! I’ve released a few trackables, and they’re all on their way. They were all released within Thuringia and haven't left the state yet. What I find strange is that one of them is supposedly recorded as having traveled 18,801 km already. How is that distance calculated? It seems a bit high to me.

Many little moves can add up. It also appears to have gone to the USA and back.

(Though, since that was in the middle of several finds in Germany, I suspect its visit to Alabama was in error.)

I suggest contacting the person who logged the visit to the US and politely inquire if they took the TB to the US. There is a good possibility that they logged a cache incorrectly, as well.

If it is truly a mistake, they or you can delete that log and correct the mileage on the TB. They will also have the opportunity to log the correct cache and visit your TB to the correct cache.

Now there's still a most probably fake visit of a Spanish cache.

As the owner of that TB I would definitely delete that one visit log but honestly looking at the history of that user still holding to that TB I would not expect getting meaningful visit logs 

You should replace the photo on the TB page. It shows the tracking number and you already received lots of fake discovery logs.
