Wow, stealing three discs is a felony? I hope this guy gets charged just so we all have a threatening reference to use against future disc thieves.

Man arrested for stealing golf discs
- Thread starter turbosteve
- Start date
I was Actually playing with the victim right before this happened. I had to head to work, so I left him while he was looking for his lost disc. Called me later pretty shook up, but the guy definately got what was coming to him. (A broken nose to go along with the felony)
And yes. Stealing anything over $50 retail is a felony, at least in MO.

I'd like to see if the charges actually stick. If they do: "what you in for?" "stealing discs for disc golf..."
Tough guy in the cell block!

Fill in your favorite high of choice, and that's probably what leads a 32-year old to steal other people's plastic.

^ this.
Headline: Disc Golfers Arrested for Stealing Website Content :|
it was free earlier.. weird'
Wow, that's messed up that the newspaper started charging for this. I read the article for free when this first got put up. I wonder if they saw how many more hits they were getting and decided they could charge.

It's the bro factor. I've heard that too about Columbia. Isn't George Smith from there or is that another part of the state? He needs to get them on that DD/Lat64 bangwagon. :hfive:

Can you tell us what he was throwing that the value was $25 per disc? We're all speculating here.

opcorn:Pretty sure the website takes down all stories for free after the first 12-24 hours, not that odd of a practice. We may be in the middle of Missouri, but I can assure you there is more important news around the paper would want to protect than getting a few extra hits than normal on this story.
The discs stolen were two of the EMac Trespass's and a Champ Firebird. The only places to buy discs in Columbia are PIAS and Dicks, both retail champ plastic $18+. The Trespass's are $20+ online I think, haven't really looked into it.
As far as I have seen a lot of the better guys have a D1/4 bagged, but I would say its far from "all that is thrown."
