 Travel Bug dog tags have a "secret" tracking number on them, although some TB owners etch the tracking number on the item itself, rather than attaching the dog tag to the item. This tracking number is used by finders to post "Found It" logs for the TB. Travel Bugs also have a '''TBxxxx''' reference number that can be used to look them up in the Groundspeak database, but which cannot be used to post "Found It" logs for the TB.

 ==Secret Number==
-The number that is on a Travel Bug dog tag is considered by many to be kept secret to only those who have found it.  The number allows anyone to move the hitch hiker from place to place and someone could cause harm if they had that number.  Therefore, it's considered proper form to guard the secret number and not post it anywhere online whether in a log or a photo of the hitch hiker.
