Not trying to start a never ending thread, but what is the answer to this question? If you leave a disc behind and then see someone throwing it a couple days later, is a name & number the deciding factor of whether you can take it back or not?
I think the deciding factor is whether or not the person that is currently in possession is willing to give it back.
One day at the course, some of us were in the parking lot by Hole #1. A kid walks up with a found disc. This kid had jjust gotten a new cell phone and was excited to make his first call to an owner of a lost/found disc. As he is dialing and waiting he is leaning on his dad's truck looking back through the parking lot, away from Hole #1 tee. About 35 or 40 feet away on the tee for Hole #1, a guy's phone started ringing.
I thought, "No way, it can't be this guy".
Well it was him. He was looking down the fairway and talking to this kid who was right behind him! And the kid was looking the opposite way so he had no idea he was talking to the guy on #1 who was just 40 feet away!
After a few seconds the guy on #1 asked if the kid could meet him somewhere to get his disc back and the kid said, "I don't know, I'm at the course right now". The other guy said, "At the course? So am I!" They each turned around with their phones to their ears and kept on talking to each other through their phones! And all this time they were close enough to each other to whisper.
Funny, funny stuff!

we need to make some W.W.S.E.D. braclets
I was in a tourney one time, and had just thrown my drive. I was off the fairway, so as I walked to my disc I was looking at the basket trying to find a route.
As I got to my disc a person was saying something to me. I was not really paying attention to him until he said "your disc is up there, this is mine" I looked down...nope it was mine...had my name on it just like I write it. No he says your disc is over there.
How about that...he was right. There were 2 glow cyclones 20 feet apart, both with my name on them.
I asked how he came to be throwing my disc???? "Well I "found" one in the lost and found at the Grange" He then had the BALLS to ask me if he can keep it!!!! I told him to finish the hole and give it back.
I can not remember this person's name. All I can say is WHAT AN IDIOT. You steal a disc from a lost and found, and then play a tournament round with the person you stole it from!!!!!

i was so pissed off, on my disc it always says Ben h. then phone number and USMC combat vet, please return.i even offer a 420 reward for my choice plastic. i know that serving the country will not get my disc back but i want people to know that i did my part to defend the rights of all people in this country so please do yours for me and just get the disc back to me. i texted the guy and he said that from then on he would call.
im thinking about moving to NorCal and i hope some day i have the honor of finding your disc not only will i get it back to you but the 420 breaks on me , thanks for your serviceso i was playing a local course and since my buddy an i were the only ones on the course we took a smoke break. while we we were chillin i saw a group of people coming up to play and one of them had a disc that looked like mine. i said dude that is my wraith for sure, i know i lost it a year ago but i miss that one the most. i called out to the guy and said you got a 175 white star wraith? he said yep and just threw it to me. i was very happy to have my disc back after a long time.
then a month or so later at a different course a disc nearly took my head off and it to looked familiar. i went over and flipped the disc and saw that it was mine. this one pissed me off because it was stolen from me while i was not next to my bag. i said hey bro this is my disc and i am taking it back. go figure it was the same kid that had my wraith.
