Where is Billy Bear Racer?

Ve8's Billy Bear Racer Travel Bug has become a Bad News Bear after it has been confirmed that he is no longer present in the cache that he is logged into, so I've had to list him with the dreaded whereabouts unknown designation.

In happier news, Wemnog's The Skylark (with bells on!) TB has been collected by East Midlands-based cacher Merlin Fish, and Canadian cacher sunpeaks has placed Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) bug into this Canadian cache, adding 12.63 miles to it's distance travelled. The cache is in the interesting community of Maillardville, a town that was populated with transplanted Québécois, becoming the first officially French Canadian community in the province of British Columbia. This means that currently all of the Top 5 entries in The Great Travel Bug Knockout are resting in caches (in locations as far apart as Australasia, North America and central Europe) waiting to be picked up and moved along. Who will be moved first?

The Bus stops, but Love & Peace keeps moving

Cachers Sweeney Toddlers have placed castlegrice's George's Fun Bus 2 Travel Bug into this letterbox hybrid cache in Palacerigg Country Park in North Lanarkshire. As this placement came after Sweeney Toddlers had previously dipped GFB2 several times, no milage has been added to it's official distance travelled in The Great Travel Bug Knockout.

As George's Fun Bus 2 was being placed into a 5½ years old cache in Scotland, Hediya's Love and Peace (Maan) TB was being retrieved from a 1-day old cache in Canada. The First-to-Find of Y Not #14 turned her nose up at LaP(Maan), but 2nd-to-Find, local cacher sunpeaks, found Hediya's trackable irresistable.
