+beatnik Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Has anyone tried or been successful in recycling bugs. I won't go through the typical sob story about a bug being lost we've had plenty of disscussion on that matter. What is geocaching.com's policy on this. After all we purchased the bugs. Does that mean we technically own the bug's number? Is it wrong to send out an exact replacement for your lost item with an attached card rather than the lost dog tag? beatnik Quote Link to comment

Also, have you considered using the "copy" tag as a tag? The travel bug page says, "There's no rule that you can't use it, so it's up to you what to do with it!" I'm assuming that would include sending it out as a recycled bug number. Colleen Dralasites: biological, not geological. Quote Link to comment
