If 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. :(

  Revisiting caches over and over to get a TB?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.
