View Full Version : Has anyone else had a couch potato log on a GC?

We had a cacher from Germany, by the look of his cache logs, log one of our GC's as "Discovered" the other day. This coin has always been in our personal collection and at the time it was logged it was in an unpublished cache where we "store" our collection.

We have emailed them, tactfully, a few days ago suggesting the log may be a mistake but have heard nothing as yet.

I know this happens quite a lot with caches but haven't come across it with GC's - has anyone else?

Cheers, H.

had it with caches but not coins etc. nothing to stop them sitting on their posteriors and randomly type numbers in....

your call at the end of the day, leave it or delete it....

Yeh, I'll leave it a couple of days and then delete it if I don't hear anything.
Funny old world - most folks think its odd us pottering about looking for plastic :dunno:
We think its odd that they don't bother :ohmy:

It is possible they just got a digit out and it was not your coin at all?

Some coins are really hard to read the numbers on.

As it is only a discovery, it is not going to alter your mileage in any way, so no real harm done? :cool:

That's what we thought, giving them the benefit of the doubt, as in the first post - but we would always reply to an email questioning our actions.

Can't really get excited about it anyway, but just wondered if it had happened to anyone else. Seems not :applause::applause:

I have, again a coin I have never let out of my sight!

I emailed them asking which event they had seen it at. I had a reply mentioning an event in germany I had not been too.

I invited them to delete the log before I did, they did.
