Travel Bug - No attachments

We recently found TB tags with no attachments. E-mailed the owner asking if owner would like to send replacement attachment or for us to replace it. Response was that tags had been released without any attachment.

Sort of takes the fun out of it?

Any thoughts

Well there are all kind of TBs, from plain ol-tag to monsterous-tag-and-attachment-that-requires-its-own-container. Is just variety.

So if you release a bug without a tag how does someone log it? It wants the magic number, unless you stick that on the bug somewhere.

Or are you saying release the tags with no bug attached?

Alby but your TB tags are attached to something.
The one that we picked up was just the tags.
No dramas in doing this but I thought half of the point was to have the TB attached to something.
The owner of the tags advised they were just too lazy to attach the Tags to anything.[/b]

We recently picked up a U.S. poor man's version of a TB it has no TB tag, but a tag with an email address and website where you can email the owner and they update thier own bug pages. Are these somethng new or are there more around?http://lkdllink.lkdllink.net/~wicket/index.htm

I picked up a hitchhiker that didn't have TB tags when we were up in NSW.

All he had was a little laminated card around his neck saying that he'd like to travel Australia. No owner details or anything on the card. I sent the owner a courtesy email to say where the hitchhiker was at, but I guess no others would know how to pass this on.

A couple of years back Lyn Pat & Nathan (WA) release a group of Gnomes with individual handmade tags to travel the world - if I remember right they where part of "The DNA Experience - Gnomes Holiday" cache.
