+Cal78 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hi, I'm Cal78 From the San Francisco Bay Area , and somebody From the Ubited Kingdom Is sitting on Seven Travel Bugs, Yes I Said SEVEN, Including my very Own 100 Acre Woods Rabbit, The Offenders Are The Penneys From Mildenhall, Suffolk, I was wondering if any one over there could help me get them moving, I've Emailed them Twice and still get no response, and if i had the money i'd be there trying to pick them up, could somebody help and see if you can get the travel bugs moving. For the Love Of AA Milne, Please Help All The Best Cal78 Quote Link to comment
+S&G.Davison Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 the biggest problem you have is they have not reponded to your emails ... Unless a UK cacher personally knows them all we can do is email them to... If they read this and want to drop the TBs off, they can contect us and we will happily organise something ...

+Pengy&Tigger Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 (edited) They have one of ours as well. Again, we have emailed but got no response. The annoying thing is that they have attended an event in the time they have had all these TBs, and didn't take them to pass on to others.

+Pharisee Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Mmmm..... thay've had one of mine since 28th August last year. Like you, I've had no reply to the emails I've sent. Maybe we find out their address and 'send the boys round' Quote Link to comment
Blackcap Barons Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Maybe we find out their address and 'send the boys round' No problem Quote Link to comment
+Pieman Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Thought I could help you, as when emails didn't work for me I posted a note on the TB kidnapper's cache listing asking what had happened to my TB. This got a response. Unfortunately, I've just discovered that thePennys haven't placed a cache yet, so I guess it's back to the drawing board. Quote Link to comment
+Turkey Trotter Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 In a case like this, I think it would be a good idea for TPTB to disable the offending cacher's ability to log an more cache finds until they have logged whatever TBs they have had for more than 2 weeks. Just my 2p worth Quote Link to comment

Ok as long as its not automatic (ie system generated) because sometimes the holder might be keeping the TB with the blessing of the owner. I've kept two for months because I'd arranged with the owners to take them to Crete. Quote Link to comment
+stu_and_sarah Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I remember chatting to them at an event last summer, and I may be wrong, but I think they might have said they were relocating in the autumn/winter. Maybe the bugs are packed in a box and they're sorting their lives out at the moment - I know we held onto some bugs for a while when we moved recently. They're certainly an anglo-american team, and the relocation may even have been transatlantic. I can't remember fully, or I might be making it up completely. Cheers, Stu Quote Link to comment

We would be more understanding if they replied to emails to explain any reasons. T Quote Link to comment
+Alibags Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 perhaps the PC is also packed in a box? does nobody who was at the event that they recently attrended actually know them, or have their number? Quote Link to comment
+Pengy&Tigger Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 perhaps the PC is also packed in a box? They last logged on to the site on 23rd Jan, which is after we first emailed them. They have had our bug since 5th September. Quote Link to comment
+Roberts-tribe Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Had a look at the electoral roll & phone book but I couldn't find a Penney in Mildenhall. Plenty of Penneys in Cambridgshire though. Quote Link to comment
+aRRKS Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Just another thought. I use my work email address and they recently changed the spam software, for a while after that I didn't get any emails coming through from geocaching.com. A quick word soon sorted it out but if they have a similar setup they may not even realise they are getting blocked, especially if they have no caches of their own. S. Quote Link to comment
+Alibags Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 I too had a look to see if I could find them in the phone book. From the logs I have discovered that she is called Kelly, but he is still anonymous However, one of their logs says they got additional help from Boneychest and Catsuey, so perhaps they know them? Also, as there were only 15 people at the event (or 15 logs at least) it seems small and intimate enough that you may be able to email selected people eg the event organiser and ask them if they can help. Politely! Quote Link to comment
+Boneychest & Catsuey Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Nah. We help anybody who asks Actually, we exchanged a few emails so I will check my laptop when I get home to see if I have a private email address for them. Quote Link to comment

+The Gecko's Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Whats the TB kidnappers Cache Listing ??? If you were the kidnappers then this could be the PAGE Dave - The Gecko's Quote Link to comment
+S&G.Davison Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Whats the TB kidnappers Cache Listing ??? If you were the kidnappers then this could be the PAGE Dave - The Gecko's right Its the syntax ... the page of a cache belonging to the suspect kidnappers .... I thought it was a virtual Cache that was to do with TB Kidnappers like the TB Grave yard caches Quote Link to comment
