found disc with multiple numbers on it

[davidb]

Normally when I find a disc, I don't hesitate to call the person back and return them their disc (good disc karma). But I found a disc with 3 different numbers on it today, and I'm not sure which number to call or what would be the right thing to do. Suggestions?

Pick the one that looks the freshest?

 

[Plastic Thunder]

That's interesting. Any of them local?

 

[bobmcnelly]

3 names too?

Just put your phone number on it too :\ add it to the list

... call all three and see what each says ... ask when/where they lost it, and the first one to lose it was the one that paid for it most likely ...

Could be a PIAS deal, I've bought a few with multiple numbers on them. Look at the area codes local one is probably your guy. Tell him about nail polish remover to get the old ink off too.

Thats what I was thinking, add his name, and throw back into the bushes. Seriously dont overthink it.... the " current owner should have crossed out the other names.... I'd bag it, or leave it... sorry its a fifteen dollar piece of plastic, I"m only going to do so much detective work.

I agree, add your number and keep the chain going. Bomb it on the riskiest holes, but not necessarily try to lose it. Gypsy disc.

I would set up a conference call with all the numbers and find out who is the real owner!

Now that would be an interesting conference call to say the least. I second this ^!

I would argue that the lightest number is that of the true owner.

What mold is it?

how old are we talking here?

I've never successfully gotten ink off of a disc that's older than a few days.

I picked up this stuff called ONYX that's 100% pure acetone and it gets pretty much anything off. You can still see very faded ink on star type of plastic but everything else is wiped clean.

^ ur that guy... :thmbdown:

 

[eegor]

Give the disc away to a new disc golfer. He or she will lose it soon enough.

No actually I'm not "that guy". I trade with people who mark their discs, I buy them from PIAS, etc. Thanks for jumping to conclusions.

 

[@iDiscGolf]

^ ok, well, you're that crafty meme guy then...

If same handwriting, call both.

If not same handwriting, keep it or leave where found.
