+greyhounder Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Spike Found this TB yesterday without it's tag. With a little bit of research I found it's TB page (the bug sheet was still in the baggie) but without its TB tag I cannot log it. It was logged into a cache a few miles from where I found it, but I have no idea who picked it up or who dropped it off. Leads me to believe that it had a tag when dropped off at the last cache, but somewhere in the move it's now gone. I tried to contact the owner, but my email was returned as undeliverable. So now what do I do? Bec Quote Link to comment
Team Firebird Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 I think that there was a thread about that somewhere. Don't get rid of it untill you contact the owner. Try sending them a letter(as low tech as it might seem). Quote Link to comment
+greyhounder Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 (edited) Any suggestion as to how I would find their address? I'm not above any low tech approach. I want to get this bug back in service. I'm really curious if a person picked up the bug and kept the tag as a souvenir.... Bec Edited October 10, 2005 by greyhounder Quote Link to comment
+ArcticNomad Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Some cachers keep records of what TBs they have had and record the numbers for their own file. It may be possible to find out more about the TB if you email some of the previous finders! Quote Link to comment
Deego Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 (edited) There are 5 users watching the bug, So maybe post a note on the bug page and hope one of them has the number. The owner of the bug logged on to the site yesterday, so they are still active Edited October 10, 2005 by Deego Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Perhaps an email to the last holder, asking them if they've found a loose TB tag in their backpack. It was shown to be there in the last photo posted, but that was a few holders ago. An email to the bug owner from the 'send message' link on their profile page will be the way to ask them for the number, or if they have the copy tag, and what do they want to do with it now. First ask the previous cacher if they have the tag, they do come off sometimes. Quote Link to comment
+greyhounder Posted October 11, 2005 Author Share Posted October 11, 2005 Owner got a hold of me and is mailing a replacement tag. All is well. Bec Quote Link to comment
