amount found, lost, returned. what's your record?

[GLong]

I thought you didn't return any, what gives? Also you need to update your 'discs found' stat.

 

[S.Cann]

Found: 3
Returned: 0 (Still trying to meet up with the one that actually had a number)
Lost: 2
Returned to me: 0 (1 did not have my number)

The most valuable info we're getting from these statistics is that discs are seldom returned. Most of the people on here seem to at least make an attempt to get a disc back to it's owner. Unfortunately, few of us have had many returned to us.

The only way we can reverse this trend is to keep making those attempts.

I've probably found 10 or so, most have not had information on them. I always attempt to return the disc if it has a number on it. The ones that have had a number and I've got ahold of have told me to keep the disc and say they appreciate the attempt to return it. I can't say I remember exactly how many I have lost either, probably 3 or 4. I do know of 2 and never recieved a call on either. I miss those discs. 11x champ tbird and pearly beast, both flew awesome.

Been playing about 5 1/2 years and these numbers are guesses.

Lost (This one I know!) (13 Total - 11 be me and 2 by my sons) (2 I later found and 1 other returned by a friend - 10 MIA)

Found (500+ Lots of discs get lost around here and I apparently spot them well)(Played 9 holes one day and found 13 discs)

Returned (Little over 100 - Most discs have no info. We created a lost/found section on our website and post info at the Parks but doesn't help much with getting players to mark discs. After I hold them for a while they go into the used pile. Probably given 200+ to schools and new players over the past 2-3 years.)

I've had a few returned to me but they weren't discs I lost - They were discs I gave away that still had my info in the rim. Gave the same disc to the same guy three times!

 

[Easy Tigur]

Lost: 0! (I never leave the course without finding a disc MIA)
Found: 1 (technically 2, but a friend yelled dibs before I could nab it. He gave me a disc unsuccessfully returned that he didn't like in exchange).
Returned: 1

 

[thatdirtykid]

Found >300
Lost <100

I returned >100
I have had returned <10
I have traded/sold >200

 

[jivey311]

I've lost a bunch, i found a bunch, but i never had any returned. Whenever i find someones, they say keep it! So i guess that's how karma evens itself out

that's really amazing to hear. kudos to you and keep spreading the disc golf joy!

if i were in your shoes i'd hope that i'd do the same thing.

 

[sengenberger]

This year
Found: 165 (72 were in one night when I went lake diving)
Lost: 90 (that includes the crap discs i threw back into the lake)
Returned to me: about 5
Returned to owner: about 25

 

[Terry C]

I left a couple discs in a soccer field at a catholic school recently. I was throwing drives with about 10 discs and forgot a couple. I got no call back, info is on all my discs. Someones gonna burn in hell for being dishonest now.

 

[Aupps]

My Brother-in-law and I have a knack for finding discs. In the last few months we found like a dozen or so, all but one had no info written on them, and the one guy never call back to claim it. But I really don't have a problem finding "frolfers" discs and not having to return them.

 

[yawpstang64]

apparently in the midwest (MN, WI specifically) people tend to not ink their discs. Maybe 10% of all discs I found had any ID on them, and a good portion of those were just Joe P or KM. So lets say 50 in the last 4 years and 3 returned.
Westcoasters nearly put their ssn on every disc, so I've been able to return 15 of probably 20 since the summer - but people are chill in OR and give you a beereward

Yeah, if karma worked like that.

Karma is not some trendy catch all phrase for being nice and nice things happen to you, people.

Karma is part of the reincarnation cycle. What you do in this life impacts how you start off in the next. A soul makes it's way up the food chain from microbes to insects to small animals to large animals to man and then, that's it. Man is the last level of reincarnation, but it's a bitch of a level. Like the higher levels of an 80's arcade game hard. You can easily screw up enough to end up as a mouse or an insect again, depending on your actions. Or you might live the most awesome life ever... and when you die, you go and live with Brahma in paradise.

It is a deep religious and philosophical concept and even though your actions of returning discs might add to your chances of getting lucky the next life... well, it works exactly like that. Karma does not reward or punish you for things in this life. It does it in the next one. No exceptions.

So please, stop using Karma as a buzz word, people. It is really an insult to Hinduism to throw it around so casually.

Well golly jeeze oops

 

[John Erickson]

Lost: 7 or 8. The hardest to lose was my Tye-dye ESP buzzz...Right into the James River. Won't make that noob mistake again. A $20 disc is not a "risk-it" disc.
Found: 0
Most time spent looking for a disc: 1.5+ hours. About an hour at night in snow, then at least 30 minutes the next day.

 

[thatdirtykid]

A $20 disc is not a "risk-it" disc.

A lot of people would disagree and say "the disc that will yield the highest success rate (which naturally would be a shot/disc that avoids ob) is the best choice. . ." If the most expensive disc I have in the bag is the right one, I would throw it right next to the grand canyon.

 

[Brall]

Well golly jeeze oops

how dare you!!

LOL

is this post good karma?

 

[jkdisc]

found: several hundred
returned: alot
lost: 2
returned to me: 1

my numbers look like this because if i lose a disc in some nasty water i still go in and there tends to be many more in there, for example the 2 i lost that i didnt find netted me 50 discs. i just hate giving up on looking and it becomes fun pulling out other discs until my disc is found.

It can also mean Fate or Destiny. Maybe they mean it's there fate or destiny for getting these discs
