Losing this one pisses us off, especially after it travels 66,000 kilometers and visited several countries 👎 It wound up in a cache at a marvelous place, but that cache has also had many issues over the years, including being (by all reports) about 50 feet from GZ. Lots of DNFs, and the possibility of it being muggled once or twice: if so, however, no OM logs have been posted since this was dropped off, despite a NM log reporting container failure.
In any event, two other travelers logged in that cache also seem to be missing, which means either that 1) older containers have decayed to the point of oblivion and contents were subsequently lost, or 2) muggles got to the cache and took stuff (not likely in this case, but possible) or 3) most likely there is a traveler thief in that area, and the missing travelers have been stolen 😟
Whatever the actual case, we are retrieving this for burial in an archived cache of ours, and hope that it turns up, some day. And here's the 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.
