+stephanieandhannah Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Today we found a cache that said it had a trackable item. When we found it the trackable was not there... Does this mean the person before us has moved it and not checked it in at another cache? Sorry if this is a dumb question.. very new to this. But enjoying it very much and learning everyday Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Not, or maybe never there, grabbed by another, stolen, and the list goes on... Cache inventories haven't been the best for accuracy for some time. Quote Link to comment
+Mudfrog Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hopefully this is a case where the trackable was picked up recently but not logged so right away. A previous log may mention this and if so, that persom may log it soon. Otherwise, as cerberus stated, a number of things could have happened that are beyond our control. In your log, a mention of the trackable not being in the cache can be of help to future finders. Not much else to do beyond that... Quote Link to comment
+stephanieandhannah Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Thanks guys! I hope its been picked up rather than stolen. The other contents were fine though and the cache was in place. The person who logged before did not mention finding it or leaving it. I did log that I didnt find it though. Thanks again Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 The trackable was placed in May of last year, it's first (and only) cache before disappearing. Quote Link to comment

Ah I see this now on further looking. Thanks. Again all very new to this. I didnt realise it would still say on the description that there was a trackable if it was no longer there! Another thing learned Quote Link to comment
RuideAlmeida Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) I didnt realise it would still say on the description that there was a trackable if it was no longer there! Unless any geocacher log this trackable as Grabbed, or both the owners of the cache or of the trackable as Missing... it will be impossible to update the cache listing otherwise.
