Nancy, I would take the bug and Drop it in the cache you found it in and then
turn right around and post a note and grab it again. It will get the mileage
and all will be well. I wouldn't worry about who dropped what where. As a bug
owner, I would be glad that my bug was moving again!
Hope this helps..
Also, the bug owner might not be a geocacher. Others I know have bought tags
and started bugs while on vacation just to try and get them back home. Look at
his stats and see how many finds he/she has logged. Usually, they will only
have a few..
Mike

Here's a message I just posted to the OKIC forum. Does anyone here have
thoughts on what we should do with this bug? Just send it on it's way? Sure
wish we had paid closer attention to the physical log book at the cache.. but
not sure that would have been much help ...
Hi!
We're in St. Louis, MO and have picked up a TB from your area. And that's
about where my info stops...
Last weekend we picked up a travel bug in a cache called The Pit
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=df18e0d6-6c64-44f4-84d5-6044a4febafc
It's a nicely done bug -- looks like a little Crusader for a playset, has
the tb tag attached as well as a copper plate with the following info:
Geo Explorer Ken Schmitt
Rockport IND 47635
Geotracker2 AT Hotmail.com
There are also an additional 50 copper plates to take as a momento when you
move the bug from state to another.
Here's our "dilemma". The bug was not logged into the cache. We think we
remember reading in the physical log book that the bug was left around April 11
(We think).
The TB number resloves to KTD47635 who released it Dec 23, yet has not
logged it into a cache since then. Actually, that ID shows no activity since
December 27.
I've emailed all available emails through gc.com and the hotmail address on
the tag. I've even emailed the owener of the bug's destination cache GCA62A
(Riverfront Cache in Rockport Indiana) and they are not familiar with the bug
owner.
I could, I suppose, just grab the bug from the owner but that's not really
"polite" -- plus, if that ID has not logged 4 motnhs ...
If you look at the Rockpport Cache, there is a log from the bug owner (In
November I believe) with a picture !
If anyone has any information on this bug very nice bug, please let us
know.
Thanks!
