Here is a kicker that maybe some of you have seen.
I released a travel bug on the 3/8/2004 and it was picked by a couple on the 3/28/2004 and logged as picked up. Since then they still have the Bug and I have tried to email them and ask them to release him into the wilds again. I recieved one e-mail saying yes and then everything went silent for the last year and they still have it.
I guess theres not much you can do except just say he is MIA
