    I am listening now to your show, which included a letter from SaskAcadie (whom we cache-followed around Newfoundland in 2016) regarding accidentally activating someone else’s trackable. I came across this issue a few months ago, logging a Discovered on a friend’s Wellington NZ Mega coin. (https://coord.info/TB902CB) If you have a look at the first 6 or 7 logs, you can see the back and forth that went on between the actual owner and another catcher who had also purchased a WENZ coin. I thought it was an isolated incident, but I guess not!
    Thank you for your show, let’s all keep on caching!

      Thanks for your comment. Yes, I think it has happened more than just a few times.
