We said it earlier today, on a log for a different geocoin which "vanished": the biggest threat to geocoins and TBs isn't thieves (although thievery is a big problem), it's newbies who get all jazzed for three days, find one or two caches, and pick up a traveler, then stop caching and are too lazy or stupid, or both, to do anything with the goodie that they picked up, often with good intentions of moving it along. Well, we all know the place to which the road is paved with Good Intentions. Sure, Life Happens, and sometimes, there isn't anything to be done, but this sort of thing happens too often; all these noobs can't possibly all be in comas or something!
So, we are retrieving this for burial in an archived cache of ours, and hope that it turns up, some day. And here's the semi-obligatory "rant" for situations like this...
WE HOPE THAT SOMEONE IS JUST BEING VERY SLOW TO LOG THIS, OR THAT THEY FORGOT ABOUT IT, OR MAYBE DIDN'T REALIZE WHAT IT REALLY WAS; IF THIS IS THE CASE, PLEASE RETRIEVE IT, AND THEN DROP IT INTO ANOTHER CACHE AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. THANK YOU!
HOWEVER...
IF YOU TOOK THIS GEOCOIN WITH NO INTENTION OF MOVING IT ALONG, YOU ARE A THIEF!! WE OWN THIS GEOCOIN; WE SENT IT OUT INTO THE WORLD FOR OTHER PEOPLE TO ENJOY AND TO MOVE ALONG. YOU CANNOT SELL IT OR ADOPT IT; YOU CAN'T EVEN SHOW IT TO OTHERS WITHOUT RISKING THEM FINDING OUT THAT YOU ARE A PETTY CRIMINAL. WE HOPE THAT YOU GET A CONSCIENCE AND DROP THIS INTO A CACHE SOON.
IF YOU SEE THIS GEOCOIN IN THE COLLECTION OF A CACHER OTHER THAN US, BE AWARE THAT IT IS STOLEN PROPERTY.
