I'm going to have to agree with Nancy on this one. This bug has lasted for a
long time, a rarity these days, and it should keep traveling. It certainly
isn't your right to play cache police...you do not have the right to alter the
bug, keep it for "discovery" or intentionally holding it to drop in a cache
rarely visited.
If you are that bent out of shape about it, send it to the owner or let it go
in a cache that is actually visited regularly so it can move on.

I'm going to offer an alternative. Contact the owner, ask for his or her
address and then return the bug to him at your own expense. Let the owner
make the decision what to do. "Back in the day", even with the stated
"rules", things were probably a bit more relaxed and a lot of the better
maybe even required something like this in order to be retrieved! This
cacher has been playing this game for over 7 years and his bug has survived
for six. That's almost unheard of. There's obviously something about this
implement of potential maimery that strikes a chord with people or else it
would have slipped away under a car seat, been used as a cat toy or dropped
off the face of the Grand Canyon. Deliberately moving it to a "remote" cache
is not in the spirit of the game. If this were me and I caught wind of
someone coming along, essentially playing cache police and hijacking my bug,
I'd be seriously pissed. Send it back to the owner and then hope you never
"find" crack pipes, condoms, human excrement or portable meth labs.
