Current Goal

The goal of this Travel Bug is to explore various aspects of the Criminal Justice System across the World. This Travel bug would love to meet as many prosecutors, law enforcement officer, judges, any other professionals within the Criminal Justice System or of course courthouses, jails or prisons. Photographs of any of the above with THE PROSECUTOR would be great proof its travels.

About This Item

THE PROSECUTOR (TAKITAPART)

This travel bug, like the Criminal Justice System itself, is a bit of a puzzle. And like so many in the system, the penny trapped is always hoping to be set free. This bug is honor of my profession. This travel bug consists of a wooden puzzle patented in 1938 called the "Takitapart". You can visit it's patent at the U.S. Patent Office's web site under the patent number 2,181,116. Your goal is set forth above, and of course if you can solve the puzzle also, go for it. The only two hints I will give you are that the chain will not, in any way, effect the puzzle and any "wear" on the puzzle is probably indicative of some type of a solution. Forcing the puzzle apart is NOT the answer. For those who get too frustrated, there is a solution, or at least an explanation of the puzzle on the Patent Web Site. Good luck and don't break any laws with this bug around, he's watching you. I've started this puzzle with a 2000 penny which could be exchanged for interesting penny-sized coins. Enjoy.

Found this TB at the last stop of the weekend. Will be moving the prosecutor along as soon as I figure out how to open this dang blasted @#&*@* thing , just kidding. Only took me 2 hours to get it open. Will send him on his way soon.

Found this one at Temple Park Cache. I will be doing some serious geocaching this weekend during the MLK 4-day holiday and will have it dropped off again over the weekend.

I like the theme for this TB. I have a BS in Crim Justice with a concentration in Forensics. Currently Mortuary Affairs in the Army. I will take another interesting Criminal Justice related photo before making a deposit.

Saw this one in Al Wilds' hands. They couldn't figure it out but I did! :) It is going to be left at our new cache today, so its on the road again. But the Prosecutor did get to visit with my husband who was with the Military Police out of Camp Pendleton for six years. And now that he's in Prince George County we are hoping he'll take a ride down to the maximum security prison for a bit. Thanks- VA Wilds

Found the Prosecutor at the Bama BB & B. Quite a spot for a TB. Will probably get him to a former MP in VA and place it somewhere around Richmond.
