I find that there are many. . . dare I say, "losers," that take it as a sign that the person who lost the disc didn't want it anyway. I have lost 5+ discs that never made their way back to me even though I put my number and name in big bold letters on the back. It may be a symptom of this being an "inexpensive" sport, but people are dishonist when it comes to lost discs (mine at least). I don't know how many clubs get lost on the ball-golf course, but there is a club house to leave lost equipment on most courses, not so on most disc golf courses.

On the flip side, I call the number once a week for 4 weeks and leave a message (unless the number is disconnected), set up as many meetings as it takes to get the disc back to it's owner. if they don't show/return the call after 4 weeks I claim the disc as mine. I haven't had anyone complain to me about it yet. In fact I have been told that 4 weeks is way beyond what is expected. I also feel that a disc I haven't picked up after 4 weeks (only one disc not recovered when called because I lost the callers number (my fault)) belong to the person I left it with.
