+Mejas Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 A cacher who calls his self 7Wins from NY has had the Hoss TB sense Feb.23,03. He said he got it from a cache in Fl. while down for a vist. there is no entry on the log page from him. but there is an entry in a cache for him in NY that day. He has only found seven caches. I have e-mailed him several time with no answer. the cacher that left hoss in Fl has e-mailed him and offarded to pay postage if he will send it to them, they haven't had an answer eather. This is a very good hobby to get and old man out and keep him active why dose there have to be so many nards out there.

Goat6500 Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Travel bugs are a good idea in theory but all they have ever brought it heartache. The only thing you can do it email them and hope for a respose. Wait three weeks then sign their email address up for all the spam you can find. Quote Link to comment
+jollybgood Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 I think it's important to keep things in perspective. Real life has a way of catching up with people who have the best of intentions. For example last summer I had a few TB's in my possession with the intent of placing them within a few days. Then my father had a heart attack (we nearly loss him). I packed up the family and went home for 12 weeks to support my mother during the subsequent surgery and recovery. Well, one of the owners of the TBs (which I had neglected to bring with me on the trip) sent me a dozen or so irrate emails asking why I was holding his TB hostage. Despite the fact I explained my situation he continued to harass me every five to seven days. Sure, I understand it may have been frustrating for him that his TB wasn't moving but c'mon -- I wasn't exactly in a position to remedy the situation. Jolly R.

+Team GPSaxophone Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 It's possible that the email address he has on his profile is his Spam-catcher address. I have a hotmail account set up and give that address out to websites that need my email address for whatever reason. I never get any actual mail there because I use a different account for friends and family. Quote Link to comment
Brogan Posted May 24, 2003 Share Posted May 24, 2003 Seems that you are hunting for this user in the wrond area... most of his/her finds are in the North Syracuse - Liverpool area. I've been to the recent gatherings at Auburn and Watertown and nobody by that name was in attendence. The Rochester event is coming up and I will be there too and will keep an eye out for you.. however you might want to contact an active cacher in that area, might I suggest MaMaBear?

+Bonsai Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I had a similar situation with one of my TB's. I finally recovered the bug, But the cacher still has the TB in his inventory. Now since I have the TB and I am the owner, How can I get it out of his inventory and back in mine to keep the TB in circulation. I have sent several polite requests instructing the cacher how to log the TB in the cache from which he picked it up. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Just click on the "found it? log it!", then make sure the type of log says "I have it!", type in the 6 digit number, and you officially have possession of your bug.

+Northern Eagle Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 As a newbie to this sport, (1 find) These posts remind me of the inherent resposibility incurred by taking a travel bug. I have learned over the years in such situations to give the benefit of the doubt by default. Lets hope the person with the bug has not met with misfortune. Quote Link to comment
chii Posted June 13, 2003 Share Posted June 13, 2003 I really don't get things like this. I'm new, haven't even had find yet (my GPS is arriving from Amazon today), and yet I've already gathered SO much about the rules just from looking around on the site. I see all these posts saying "someone didn't log" and whatnot, and I can't help but wonder what kind of idiots these people are... even *I* know it, and I've only been around here for a week. It blows my mind! ============================== http://www.kawaiineko.net/ >^..^< - nya Quote Link to comment
+Mejas Posted June 23, 2003 Author Share Posted June 23, 2003 Update I have reclaimed Hoss the travel bug. I did not send him to the graveyard. I don't have him but he's in my invertory. ( yeah my spelling is so bad the spell checker can't straiten it out) Mejas Love caching Quote Link to comment

+lathama Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 JamZ in the Uk has had my bug since march 5th 2002 (he has only made one caching trip and found 1 cache and 1 tb - MINE). I have now resorted to sending out the copy tag as he is ignoring my emails (i know that the email works because i did get correspondence from him) back at christmas when he told me to "sod off as he was never going caching again". If you have not had contact from the cacher for so long my advice to you is this GIVE UP! Quote Link to comment

It blows my mind! I believe that there are a lot of people out there who feel themselves above the rules and think it's beneath them to READ the FREAKIN' MANUAL. They go about their business, mucking it up for everyone because they're having fun, possibly to the detriment of others, but they don't care, because they're having fun. I've seen this on more than one site and it's really sad. When I find something new on the Internet, the first thing I do is read the FAQs page, if they have one and most of the good ones do. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who don't feel this is necessary and they're the ones having fun. _________________________________ Webfoot Tromping through the underbrush looking for Ammo cans, Tupperware containers, & little round disks.

+Mejas Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 I did claim my travel bug back. But all I have is the name the jerk still has the bug. Jeremy has closed his account. But what will keep him from opening another one in a differnt name? Are just going out and taking them. Mejas Love caching Quote Link to comment
