If I had a bug that was stuck in a cache that was not frequently visited, I
would probably appreciate the bug being removed by anyone to continue it's
journey. A posting of a note to the cache page will indicate at a minimum to
the cache owner that the cache is there still. Also there are some travel
bugs that are a game in itself, like the Wyle Operatives. I'm yet to be
convinced people taking the bug out of a cache causes anyone harm. I think
far more harmful are those who hold onto bugs for too long or who take them
but can't figure out how to record on the web site that they took them.
I tell you what IS dissapointing in my opinion. Finding a travel bug in
Rocky Point that wants to go to England. Asking the bug owner if they mind
me holding on to it for 2 months until I go over there. Taking it over there
in my hand luggage so the airline can't lose it. Waiting for the day I can
go caching to put it somewhere. Going out on the most awful English summer
day you can imagine to put it in a cache that is behind a mountain of sea
buckthorn that I had to wade through and get soaking wet. Then finding out
the cache was stolen along with the travel bug some time after our visit. :(

Ok, I could probably see that if the person was helping maintain the cache
it could be ok, but without naming names, I know of a couple of cachers who
do not help maintain the cache, doesn't even log on the cache page taking of
the bug (only logs to the bug page), makes no trades for the bug thus
lowering the inventory of the cache. Hense showing only an interest in
getting bugs out of the cache with not much concern for the cache or cache
owner. This is where I am having a problem seeing it as ok.
Once again just my opinion, IFISHAZ.
