    I have one more thing to add to this although having never released any
"real" travel bugs (so far - the tag is on my desk!) I haven't tried it.
I've read that people have had better luck if they attach a laminated card
to the travel bug spelling out exactly what it is and how it works. I guess
there are plenty of people who don't read the forums, etc or are new to
geocaching, and have no clue about travel bugs, so they just keep them. This
is the idea that I will be trying.

    I'm actually planning on eventually releasing several travel bugs, both
here and in England, with the same purpose. So if one or two go missing I
won't be too dissapointed.

      Hello IFISHAZ (Dennis P.) here,
      Unfortunately I have had two travel bugs lost by geocachers who had
retrieved them from caches. Anyone have any suggestions as to what I could
do next? It seems to me (as a relatively new cacher) to be a waste of money
to buy TB's that if they get lost are just gone (both bugs were lost in
their first months of life, one wasn't even a complete month old). Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
