Thanking TB movers

[+Condorito]

I was just wondering how many of you give a word of thanks to geocachers who move tbs for them without getting them lost. When cachers drop off my tbs, i normally send them an email saying thanks for looking after my tb, and i hope people look afterr your tbs like you looked after mine...

 

Anyone else have a similar habit??? I just thought that it is nice to say thanks that they looked after it.

We all know that many cachers send our tbs to extinction, so i just thought it appropriate to thank those who actually moved it and logged it properly

Most of the time I send them a message to just talk to them about their log.

Like when a cacher who is now a friend picked up one moving away from my home town on it's way to Aus and she brought it back here. I called her a numpty we laughed and then she sent it back on its travels. I thanked her for delaying his trip (in a joking manor)

If someone goes above and beyond with my TB, like the person who took one of mine that was moldy and disgusting and cleaned it up, I will send a note of thanks. But for doing with it what they are supposed to do with it,no.

I travel to/from Europe to the US a few times a year and have occasionally gotten notes of thanks from people for helping them out with a "big jump."

 

Can't recall ever getting notes of thanks otherwise.

For normal TB movement, no I don't. For anything extraordinary I might.

But I do send a confirmation 'correct, thanks for visiting our virtual cache' note to anyone who logs that and emails the verification info. And I will question anyone who logs a find and fails to send the verification.

havent had any of my own true trackables yet, but when I do i plan on thanking the mover for not just stealing it like ive heard in countless stories

Once in while I do - particularly for those that followed the movement instructions or posted some photos online. However, as a general rule - no.

If someone placed it in a new baggie, cleaned it, or logged it correctly from a hide it wasn't logged into, yes.

They deserve a small note of thanks.

If they're just moving it along as everyone else, no.

I am moving this thread from the Geocaching Topics forum to the Travel Bug forum.

I routinely will email (through the geocaching site, profile link) thanking the cacher that moved my trackable a great distance or closer to it's goal if it was extensive. To date, I have always gotten a friendly reply back. I think it's a great token for a TB owner to do, and also very nice for the TB mover to get. I plan to continue to do this myself.
