Do you think its right to charge someone to give them their disc back? because I got a call from someone saying hey I got your disc and it will cost you $5 to get it back. what should I do?

Depends on how much you want the disc back. Personally, I think its a dick move to charge someone to get their disc back as long as the other person doesn't make any demands on getting it back. Even if the other person made demands on when and where I drop the disc off, I wouldn't charge them but they would also pick the disc up where I choose to deliver it at.
I had a kid do this to me. I figured he was around 12-13. I told him I had his name and number and that I was going to call his mother about the extortion he was committing. He started crying and hung up. All in all, I did not get my disc back but I had a large smile on my face (yeah I get kicks out of making little kids cry).
If you have a disc you'd actually like returned, consider putting a reward on it. Lots of the people who return discs out of kindness will deny the compensation and a few others who might not otherwise call may be more inclined.
- it's rude to not offer something in return for someone returning your disc (especially if it is being shipped back to you).
- it's also rude to demand payment for returning a disc unless there is a special circumstance. (i.e. you are returning 20 discs and could not possibly pay shipping on them all)
once again, just common knowledge on good etiquette.
It's a total dbag move. Return discs because it's the right thing to do, not for profit. I do agree that if you're driving a good distance (more than 15 minutes out of your way) to return it then it's perfectly acceptable to ask for gas money or have them do the driving.
i say agree to pay and meet him, then just take the disc and dont pay, whats he gonna do? he cant really call the police.
