As the TB owner I already have the ability to remove a TB from a cache. I have recently had to do just that with Cannonball Run: Dodge Viper RT/10. The cache owner emailed me about the situation. We both tried to contact the person who took the TB. I eventually just had to remove the TB from the cache.

Seems to me that a members-only cache is a handy way to keep out at least some of the riff-raff like this. Being the parasites that they are, vandals generally aren't interested in paying for the opportunity to vandalize something. -- Doppler Spray paint is not cheap. And I don't think that acid based etching stuff some are using is free. $3 for a one month membership is a lot less then both of these. I would think that trying to hide them would make them more of a target.

There is a whole series of "I Hate I-5" out there. Just do a search on keyword "I-5".

I think with all the lost time from his work and money and time he puts into keeping the geocaching.com site running, a fee of $30.00 isn't much to ask I too was thinking of joining just to help support the site. But then I saw the "members only caches". And I wasn't very happy with that. Then I was looking at the newer the Travel Bugs in the TB Gallery and went to see the cache of one of the TBs... I was kicked out because it was a member's only cache. That just pi&%@# me off. Now I'm thinking twice about joining, just because of this feature. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that doesn't think it is a great idea.

It's the lack of communication that is bugging me. I have a couple of travel bugs (Smiley and TARDIS Key) that may be missing. I email the people that last saw/took them just to get a status of what's going on. No reply! - so after almost a month, I have had to email them again to try to get a response.
