I have had the unfortunate experience of losing a bug. After arriving home I discovered that somewhere between the cache and the car I dropped it. As I had planned to take with me to Scotland the next day, I could not get back a search for two weeks. I e-mailed the owner and apologized. He left the bug at the site, hoping that would be found. I did post a note warning others looking for the bug shown at this site it was not there. I finally e-mailed to owner a suggested that he move the bug to the graveyard, which he did.
