HellasReviewer: Dear geocachers,
According to the geocaching guidelines, claiming a find requires signing the logbook.
https://www.geocaching.com/blog/2019/06/geocaching-etiquette-201-finding-and-logging/
If a geocacher visits the coordinates but the container and logbook are gone, then a "Did Not Find" and/or an “Owner Attention Required” log should be posted, not a “Found It.” A photolog or just a visit to the location is not enough for a find. In case this keeps on, the cache is likely to be archived.
The owner has to delete all about photologging or finding the location from the cache page.
No response by the cache owner may result in a cache being archived to keep the cache from appearing in local Pocket Queries.
Thank you for your prompt attention and understanding.
