69 discs in Oly

One way to make sure of that the person knows that the disk was not abandoned is to put the phrase "This disk was lost. If found please call..." Discs are not considered "High Value" items and yes the PD would have a heck of time keeping track of lost discs. However I have found that when my discs were returned to me after being the water for two weeks my name an number were almost gone and I wrote my name on them with a sharpie. I believe if this person if trying to sell found discs and has not done the diligence of contacting the owner of the disc or has removed the owners name from the back of a disc that is stealing. If they are his, then let him sell them.

I get ribbed about it all of the time, but every single one of my discs say "please call if found" on the inside rim next to my number. I figure that way nobody can claim that they thought I wouldn't want it back. On one occasion a guy actually said to me, "I wasn't going to call but it said 'Please Call' so I figured you must really want it back".

It really works if the person is honest. I know people in my area who havent makred thier discs and the will probly never see them again. I even know someone who found a Star Firebird that didnt have even a remote hint of a name or number on it. I asked around but no one seems to know whos it is. You would think a person buying star plastic would at least write thier name on it.

I don't write my name on a disc right away, I usually throw it quite a few times to make sure its mine.

I got one out of our pond that was a guy's in Mississippi. I called and he said to keep it. Any identifier, such as contact info, is an attempt to maintain ownership. To ignore it is to be a thief.

I called Canada last night. The person who answered had the same phone number {that was clearly marked on the lost disc} for 15 years. No disc golfer here aye! She was so nice, I just love them canucks!

My Wife was a sub-contractor for a Canadian utility company. I bet she would beg to differ.

Yeah, me too. Sometimes I sell 'em or trade 'em away immediately, because it's clearly not a disc I want or need.

ok so back to the topic, has anybody heard back from the person selling these discs yet?

[olydiscgolf]

I haven't heard back from him, I think he got scared off. I will keep trying though.
