Anothers TB i my cache?

[+Thorminator]

I just placed another cache out, and in this I had a TB that's not mine.

Actually, it was a mistake, cause i had the cache ready to place, and just used the container for goodies on the way. The TB was'nt ment to join in the cache...

However, somehow, i managed to leave the TB inside when i placed the cache.

(Did'nt even notice untill I got home.)

Now, I know that this cache will be found in a somewhat short amount of time, and the TB probably will be picked up too.

 

The big Q beeing;

Is this considered to be a bad practise?

Placing someone elses TB in my own cache?

(Of course, i know that not having _total_ control of someones TB is bad, that was'nt the question...)

just drop the bug in the cache online. not bad practice. if I have other peoples bugs when I start a new cache I often put them into my cache jsut to help get them out. same as putting it into any other cache.

Travel bugs are meant to travel, you can place them in any cache that assists them towards their goal. Yours or anybody elses.

Ok, thanks people!

Wanted to ask, just in case.

The best place you could possibly put a TB is into your new cache, in my opinion. Being that it's new, there will be a mad rush for FTF and the TB will move quickly. That's what TBs are supposed to do, after all, and they obviously aren't going to sit in a brand new cache for very long.

Generally I would agree. but I would have to say that if you place a bug into a new cache you should A. be able to retrieve the cache and bug should your cache not be approved. and B. be able to retrieve a bug if it sits too long. C. not place caches you can't maintain. Get an agreement for support before placing it.

Otherwise yes, a bug in a new cache will probably get picked sooner than one place some time ago.

 

I hope.

Good point!

 

Fortunatley, neither of the above will be a problem.

I don't like to place caches that I would have difficulties maintaining,

I'm too lazy for that.

 

But thanks for the constructive feedback!
