    Our Travel Bug hotel that has been in our yard for almost 10 years was stolen this weekend while we were in Door County.

    Get the signal has been archived.   Maybe in the future we will put out a new TB hotel on our property, but will have to work on a new hide.

    Ooo, that’s trespassing and theft! The barking dogs had me thinking twice about SL when I was there last year. Better see if anything else is missing!

    Bummer news.  If you do create a new travel bug hotel cache I vote for a gadget cache….  Put those carpenter skills to work 😉

    Sorry to hear that.  It is bad enough when they steal your cache in the woods but stealing right from your yard is horrible.

    Horrible news! We just placed one at the end of the driveway today, hope it lasts 10 years!

    After mine got stolen, I discontinued the cache as a travel bug hotel and then chained the new ammo box in place…so far, so good. But there’s a lot of weird people out there! I couple of summers ago, someone stole our solar lights from right in front of our house.

    Found a Travel Bug Hotel for our new house!

    Just kidding – so bummed that Signal has been retired – we always make a point to stop there when going north to swap TBs. Boo!

    I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

    It’s too bad hearing about your TB hotel being stolen, and right when you were going for 10K.

    I’m so sorry to hear this. Sadly, having visited it myself, I can only think it was taken by a cacher for the bugs in it. That really sucks.

    Well lucky there were no TB’s in the cache at the time it was stolen, but we have put it back out again, moved it a bit from our house, and added some security (lock on cache and locked to a tree) but back in play…  and we added a few TB’s to it as a temptation for the cachers driving thru

    Bummer. Unfortunately we have noticed a trend in northern Oconto County of people causing problems with caches. Vandalism and outright theft is all too common. Sorry for your loss, we know how maddening this is.    Jim & Chris

    It’s one thing when the TB’s get stolen or disappear, another when your cache gets stolen… But from your front yard!! Guard dogs weren’t on their game I guess haha, I remember I was second guessing going after the cache the first time when they were all barking haha
