Your info on your discs?

[Younk]

I lost a disc a couple weeks ago   so when I got home I put my name and phone # on all my remaining discs.  

I'm wondering if anyone else does this, and if so, has a disc ever been returned after you've lost it?  

I want to think that if someone found a lost disc of mine that had my name and phone # that they would return it to me but I don't have much faith in people anymore  

So tell me:
Do you put your info on your discs?

If you found a disc with someone's info would you give it back?

Has anyone ever lost a disc with their info on it and then got it back because the person who found it called?
(seeing someone with your disc and getting it back from them (with or without force) doesn't count   )

I call if there is an area code.  I can't tell you the number of discs I've found with a seven digit phone number on them.  

I have had discs returned to me because I had contact information on the disc.

I put my PDGA number and my e-mail address.

I put "JBrakel 10246" on my discs. I have gotten every disc that I've lost over the last 2 years back except for unreachable discs lost in water. The only exception is one of my 150 Flicks which is merely "missing" and hasn't been declared "lost" yet.

I've lost discs at Bevier that were returned by locals who know me. Other than that, I lost a white Wolf once that was found & the dude called me but when I called him back he postponed getting the disc back to me & I never heard from him again.
I also lost my Stratus once while playing Fairfield, and this happened to be one of the few discs with my home number on it. I usually put my cell number on them, but anyhow... Dude found my disc, called my house (wife answered) and said he was sorry I lost my disc but wanted me to know he wouldn't be returning it. The wife called me a minute later w/jackass' cell number, I promptly called him & pretended to be a friend trying to find him on the course. Two minutes later I had located the asshole & had my disc back.
I was so happy to have it back I forgot to bitch him out for being a dick.

Nice assist by the Mrs.

it totally was. my stratus would still be in the hands of some chucker if it wasn't for her.

I've had lost discs returned during tournaments - and last year at Worlds before the tournament actually started - but only a couple of times during casual rounds and that was probably only because I was still on the course and the finder knew me.

But I put my name and # on all of them anyway. You never know.

I tried to return a disc @ Worlds last year that I'd found a couple yrs earlier in Calif; no number but I left a msg on the board - guy didn't get in touch w/ me until I was already on my way back home  

It was originally a funny story because his disc was the same make, color and even weight as the one I was searching for when I found his; I found mine too, about 10 ft away from his, but I don't throw either of them anymore.

I write a ton of stuff on the back of my disc. I want to make the person that throws my disc look at my name or have to black out the entire back of the disc to use it.

I've had several returned. I also had 1 prank call. After I told him i'd buy it from him he was very interested. I told him it was worth $100.00 bucks. Ha! It was an SE Valkyrie & beat to hell. I wonder if he fell for it. Ha!

I've got one of those, but I bought it from him.    

[Jon Brakel]

If I write a ton of stuff on a disc, I write it on the front not the back.

I basically put everything down

First Last name on top with pdga number

then city, state, and phone number with area code on bottom

people say it isn't necessary but whatever.

one of my ace discs was returned to me, the other discs i've lost were like rocs and i doubt anyone will find them

[pat]

I always write my name, phone number and PDGA number on the back of my disc. I have had a few returned. I lost two discs on 15 at Hiestand last year and had those two and one other I lost earlier last year returned the next day.
I also call and try to return any disc I find with a phone number on it.
I thought it was funny when one person I called thought I should deliver the disc to their home. They couldn't take the time to come and get it or meet somewhere.

pdga #
cell

if i lost it  (i must have stopped looking for it)
they can have it

[Mangler]

if it means that much to you I guess throw Telephone # on your disc. And something like Reward if Found...never post your real name (use code ) your looking for trouble.

most discs that I lose I dont want to find ! If there is info on it I will make a call or two if no answer I feel an Obligation to find a cozy home for the lost lonesome ownerless disc so...........................I just throw it back.

or you can sell them on E-Bay ... listing will describe something like " mint condition used Champion CE Valk   blah blah blah ... mint except for the seven inch Black Magic Marker spot on back.

Hey Chains if you lost it a Couple of Weeks ago... OPRAH would tell you to get over it and I would agree with her.

i rub some special juice on each of my discs which creates a distinct smell that people know is me.  i've had several discs returned to me thanks to my magic juice.

[mirth]

thats just wrong

[Jon Brakel]

We should all save these posts that Dan makes so that we can embarass him by showing them to him once he grows up...if any of us are talking to him by then.    

[Chainmeister]

Dan figured out about the special juice when Moises Alou played in town.  Every time Dan throws his disc it Whizzes by.  Yup, that sure explains a lot.
