When I have someone return tags to me or a damaged TBUG- I always tell them I will reimburse their postage/handling. They usually send them back in a USPS white padded mailer which costs 99 cents and postage is about $1. I then send the renewed Tbug back to them in the same envelope and include $2. I jus got tags back from one of my bugs without the hitchiker on it- the tags look like they had been run over by something heavey- they were all twisted- but we could straighten them out and attach a new traveler.

I just had my American Racer travel bug returned to me, with everything BUT the tag. A fellow cacher that works with me, just dropped off what he was able to pick up in and around the cache. The "bug", the bug page, the laminated description I put with all my bugs, and the plastic bag. He said it was spread all around in parts, but could not find the dog tag. He grabbed this all the way over in Milwaukee this weekend. S*cks that some one took it all apart, and swiped the tag. Guess I will try to put it all back together and get it back out into the wild with some modifications and repairs to the busted bug. Maybe this time I will add some directions to head west? Thanks Imfrezn for retreving and returing all the stuff.

I got a stupid question are the TB thieves regular geocachers or noncachers. I also notice that towlebooth stated that there was a cacher that was a TB thief, since I am new at this how did he come up with the proof? I am not trying to bash or start anything, I am just curious.

"The only stupid question was the one that wasn't asked." Very Happy

I can't answer that one though, but I remember a couple instances where people admitted to it in posts. One cacher had caught his kid with a bunch. And another where a guy fessed up to 'hoarding' them.
