+Ratbas Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Hi all, I accidentally separated an item from its logbook thinking that the logbook was for the cache in general. Should I return to the site to retrieve the log and keep the two together or give it an interim log creating a chase? Other factors: With the interim log solution I can relocate the item sooner. Again, my apologies/my mistake/my bad/sorry about that. Quote Link to comment

+Eartha Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Better go back and set it straight. It would be too hard to reunite the two. Quote Link to comment
+Ratbas Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) Clearly the proper solution would be to return to the site to retrieve the log, but I think you already know that. So holding onto the item for a few days longer is not worse than keeping it separate from its log but out faster? Got it. Thank-you. Edited April 23, 2009 by Ratbas Quote Link to comment
+Ratbas Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Follow up: I was wrong. The log book I signed did belong to the cache in general and the logbook that's in the picture of the item that comes with the item (computer printout sheet that explains everything) was apparently missing prior to my arrival.

Holding on to the item for a few days longer is absolutely not worse than keeping it separate from the log that was intended to be travelling with it. Glad to hear that you did follow up on this. Sad to hear that the log for the bug had previously gone missing. Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment
+JennM Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I had a situation like this once. I found a cache that had a log/baggie/swag that belonged to a bug that a prior cacher had taken - but left behind the bag of accessories. I picked up the bug's bag from the cache and took it home. I posted a note to the bug's page, that I had the remainder of the bug's kit. I asked the next person to pick up the bug, to contact me, and I would mail the rest of the bug's kit to them. The next picker-upper did so, I mailed the stuff, and it was all back together again. Happy ending. Jenn Quote Link to comment
