Suppose a person not playing a tournament is watching a tourney round and notices a disc thrown looks really familiar. He goes over there, examines it, and sure enough it's one of his recently (< 1 yr) lost discs with his contact info on it. The tourney player had found the disc* and effectively stole it by not trying to return it. The spectator reclaims his property, reads the thrower the riot act and storms off. Has anyone ever witnessed something like this and what's the rule procedure for a disc used in play being taken away by a 3rd party? opcorn:
*for the sake of inevitable thread drift let's assume the disc was found easily i.e. not a pond rescue so tourney guy is guilty of laziness at least.
Closest I can think of, but if it was removed unseen from all the players then an approximate position would be hard to determine.804.03 C: A thrown disc at rest that has been moved shall be replaced to its approximate position (see 802.02.E). A marker disc at rest that has been moved shall be replaced to mark the approximate lie (see 802.03.F).
