+thunderbird30 Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 (edited) Hi all, our travel bug (Bob the bug) has been picked up by a user called thx4sht.The user name sounds a bit suspicious to us to say the least! The cache it was retrieved from was GCN7CG Clover Creek In My Backyard. According to their stats, they have only logged one cache on April 24th 2005 (where our bug was) but have been a member since 10th Sept 2004. Would anybody know this user? If they do could they please ask them to move our little fellow on please?I strongly suspect that our TB has been destroyed/stolen,but it's worth a chance..... Thanks, thunderbird30 (Jon & Sara) Scotland Edited June 9, 2005 by thunderbird30 Quote Link to comment
+Green Achers Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I think Geocaching should help out in this case. The name doesn't bring much hope for a good out come and isn't very family friendly either. I think someone needs to go to the nawghty mat for not playing well with others. Could this be a puppet account? Only Geocaching knows for sure. Quote Link to comment
+thunderbird30 Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 how do I get Geocaching.com involved? Although my TB is almost certainly gone,I would like to prevent this user from doing it again to someone. Quote Link to comment
+forman Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Did you send him an email asking if he has your travel bug? Kinda weird that his first find was 09/12/04 and he logged that he got the tb from a cache 6-7 months later that he never found. I stopped doing travel bugs all together, to many stupid people out there. Don Quote Link to comment
+BilboB Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Not sure how you are going to keep someone from finding caches thunderbird30. Even if barred from geocaching, they obviously know what they are doing and if banned, could make it even worse for others. Quote Link to comment
+WRITE SHOP ROBERT Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Given the info i see in the other posts here i would say this is probably someone else using a puppet account, so you may try contacting the other finders of your cache, it may be one of them that actually found the cache and logged the bug under their puppet name for some reason. Tell them they can remain anonymous by dropping the bug anywhere and not logging it. Quote Link to comment
