Help needed re: Travel Bug

[+THE BRAMBLERS]

I left a travel bug at a location today and when I went to log it on-line I found that someone had already taken it and logged it before me. Now it has gone from my cache page and I cannot add my log.

 

As it had come such a long way (from Colorado), I really wanted to add my note.

 

Is there any thing I can do? I did wonder about e-mailing the last people to get the id number, but I wasn't sure if that would be OK.

 

Any suggestions?

There's a thread here that may help. It seems the thing to do is to email the other people. But if they're not co-operative you can simply grab the bug again from its own page, as long as you've still got its number. The downside is that this can mess up its mileage.

Thanks for the reply and the link; at least I know it has happened before.

 

I'm afraid I didn't think to write the number down and I certainly didn't expect someone to take it and log it so quickly, especially as it was a two mile walk to the cache!

 

I think I will e-mail the last people and see if they can help.

 

Thanks again

Yes been there done that!!

I had to e-mail the person that had owned the travel bug to get them to put a log on the page, 'cos I didn't have the number!!

I always make a note of the number now.
