Stolen Travel Bugs!

[+meralgia]

I'd have to say that in the long run putting several TBs into one cache isn't the best idea.

Right, but what about the TB hotels that advertise as such? When you type "TB Hotel" in a keyword search you get 459 hits.

A cache designed to provide easy access to move bugs quickly is perfectly fine. When you have a high stock count you obviously increase the chances of many bugs going missing at once.

Nope sorry that's not right, it doesn't increase the chances, just the impact.

You haven't even looked at the maps for that cache, have you? 35E and 494 are major arteries in the Twin Cities area. We have Microsoft Mappoint Birdseye arial photos in our area if you really want a close-up look. This isn't exactly in the boonies. It also has never been muggled.

 

Once AGAIN... the question here is... why would a fellow cacher steal travel bugs, not should a cacher stock his own cache with them.

No idea why someone would take five travel bugs for themselves.

[+Snoogans]

I am STILL wondering WHY, though. What would the possible motive be?

 

To read threads like this and roll in their own filth. Normally I don't participate, but this thread is running a bit odd.

Who knows?

Maybe this person is a "collector"?

Maybe this person has a vendetta against TBs?

 

Note that in either of these cases, such a person would be drawn like a magnet to a cache with 8 TBs in it.

 

I agree with BlueDeuce. Too many TBs in one cache is risky.

 

Hopefully the TBs will resurface.

OK, I admit that I'm reading between the lines, but I think that was offensive and I'm going to take it personally.

Slippery Seal

I WOULD LIKE TO GET TO DUTCH HARBOR, ALASKA BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD THAT THE FISHING IS GREAT THERE! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND HAPPY CACHING!

The Three Little Pigs.

Found in Minnesota.

Goal: This is the story of the Three Little pigs, fireman121 & Skatergirl2005 style. All of pigs were ready to leave home but wanted to go in different direction.

 

Yunker. Found in Minnesota. Goal:

I want to visit as many caches as possible over the next year

 

Now tell me... do you see a problem with any of those goals? And if you do, then why didn't the owner have a problem? There isn't a single TB in the bunch that I didn't move to at LEAST an equal position, if not better. For every single one, the cache that I moved them to was in a more central and more populated area than where I found them.

 

And you STILL haven't addressed my original question of "WHY"!

I agree with your hope, I disagree with your count and with BlueDeuce. How many TBs should be in one cache? Or is that a new thread?

That would be a fun rumble of a thread. I'd put on my torreador outfit for that one.

In spite of Snoogan's wonderful moderations, I think that its time to ask the moderators to close this thread before it goes any further. We've been off-topic since the beginning, and nothing is getting resolved. Thanks.

Is there such a creature? I know some geocoin collectors, but they're on the up-and-up and always make arrangments in one way or another with the coin owner before collecting. I've never heard of a TB collector except for those that are gathering them for an event.

[+meralgia]

A before-bedtime smirk... here's a travel bug that will never get stolen:

 

Cramming me in the cache would be harder than stealing me!! ; ) Have a good night, guys.
