+sweetlife Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hi My parents(masscityfin) are new to geocaching and we just introduced this new and fun hobby to them in november,2004. They have spent money to buy bug tags and have had alot of time consumed into getting travel bugs ready and we released one of them into our cache and someone by the name of FUN4ME has taken Their "FinHummer" travel bug and has been holding it Over 3 months and we have emailed her many times and she has not even had the courtecy to even reply back. She had been geocaching since November when she took my parents travel bg and and has picked up and dropped off other travel bug. Guess we need to know what we can do next???? My parenst are upset as this was their first travel bug and it is being held and not getting anywhere. Sweetlife Quote Link to comment

+zygote2k Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Don't release a TB into the wild unless you can handle ALL the scenarios it may encounter. Quote Link to comment
+Colorado Cacher Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I would suggest Jeremy suspend that persons account for Geocaching non-etiquitte. I had one gone for six months and had to ask to have it put back into circulation. I shouldn't have to ask, you should respect your other players. Quote Link to comment
+Eartha Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Please be patient with others. Not everyone gets to caching every week. Try sending a FRIENDLY e-mail reminder to the holder of the bug, using the link on their profile page. You will get no where with an unfriendly e-mail. You'd be surprised how long travel bugs can be held! Once you let that travel bug out into the wild it's a game of chance. Send them a friendly note and ask when they think they might be able to place it in a cache. Quote Link to comment
+1NatureMom Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I'm guilty of holding out on our 1st T.B.; not on purpose. Just found it almost a year later in one of my 1,000 winter coats pocket. stuff happens. I'll move it along when I'm over this broncitis. Guess this happens. Leslie Quote Link to comment
+BilboB Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 There are alot of variables at work here. Maybe after the first few emails, they dont want to respond. Maybe they dropped it off a long time ago and forgot to log it. Maybe they just forgot and will get to it. Maybe they are dead! You get the point. Dont buy them if you cant handle some of them going astray. My first (and only) geocoin made it to one cache and I never heard of it again. Quote Link to comment
