There was another option that I had considered, but not put in the post.. It could have been that the third person merely missed the coin.. Which seems to be what has happened. Last night, I recieved an e-mail notification from geocaching.com, and someone picked it up and indicated that sometime this next weekend, they would start the coin on it's journey. Thanks for the advice! :) Well, it seems that my problem has been solved..

It's disappointing when people can't be bothered to log their TB/GC exchanges as it really ruins it for the people that pay for them to begin with.

Chances are someone picked it up but forgot to log it. They will probably drop it in another cache or an event somewhere and someone else will pick it up and properly log it. Or you can send a message to the last 3 people to find that cache and ask if they picked it up. A gentle reminder to log it or drop it. Maybe they are new and don't understand how geocoins work.
