Prospectors without names

Missing neighbours can still do actions in your town - so it very well might be because of the missing neighbour glitch. I can't say for certain though - I know one of my missing neighbours dropped prospectors and saw that I had collected them (they got a pop up message that I helped them), but I didn't see any names. It's possible I just missed them, though - I originally thought that I had until I read this.

I guess time will tell.
