How to increase your TB (and cache) count.
Have a look at this log for Sep 6th:
http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_de ... x?ID=89600
Follow up to his profile and look at all the TBs and caches he has 'found', and then look at a selection of each, particularly the most recent page. Sure gets around doesn't he? New York one day, Melbourne the next. And all just to log a TB he's never actually seen 'in the flesh'. Many of his recent TB and cache logs seem to follow the same pattern, too. Oh well. Whatever gives you pleasure.

If you look at the entry here ( http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_de ... c7c33caead ) for 28th July it looks like he just experiments with different numbers. I've seen a couple like this - claimed to be an error ("must have written numbers down wrong") but left there just the same!

You could try downloading a loc file of his recent 'finds', convert to ozi waypoint and plot on a map of the USA. He would need a private jet to move around like he expects us to believe.
He is only fooling himself (and a few yanks of you read some cache logs)<br>any help i can get so that i can remove him would be appreciated....its not on. embi

Sounds sus to us ...
If you accidently log a find on the wrong cache or TB, the average honest person would delete the log and go looking for the correct spot ... doesn't appear to be the case here. Otherwise, I want the job that he's got - he gets to travel a hell of a lot more than we do!! Sic 'em, Embi

He certainly gets some numbers that way, but others he's getting by trial and error. Easy enough to do - just go to the 'Track Travel Bugs' page, type in some numbers in the range of known bugs until you find one that is valid (it is usually very quick), then you know the number of that bug and where it is. Simple (but pointless) then to log it and the cache it's in. <br>He's attracted a bit of notoriety in the US as well, not just with bogus cache and TB finds, but with bogus benchmark finds as well.
