Just because I feel like beating a sick and nearly dead horse today:
I think $5 would be a dick move for DX plastic. If it were one of my go to discs, my Star Wraith/Boss/Max or any of my "gift" discs that have sentimental value I personally would gladly pay $5 to get one of them back. My easily replaced discs I guess it'd depend on how I felt that day. I'm gonna replace it anyway, $5 would be cheaper than buying a new one, it'd also depend on wear factor on each disc. I lost a brand new Star Wraith in the snow, didn't even put my name and number on it yet, posted around on the local course facebook but never expected to get it back. I would have paid $5 for that one, but my old beat in Champion Valkyrie? Likely not.
There are two schools of thought surrounding this question, and it's always fun to watch them go back and forth trying to force their views and opinions on someone else.
Moral: The it's the "right" thing to do club.
Legal: It's the legal thing to do club.
I can understand the moral group, but in all honesty, those looking to file "theft" charges on something you left on the course, you're gonna have a hard time. We may make a report (I wouldn't, it's widely considered abandoned property), but getting a judge to file charges against someone would be really hard to do. You'd have to prove your intent, and prove the person who got your disc got it with malicious intent to deprive the owner of the disc directly, and didn't just happen across it on the course.
As I've said before, if it's got a number on it, in MY OPINION, it's a dick move to not try to notify the owner and try to get it back to them. If YOU don't agree, awesome, we can still be best buds, no worries. We each have different opinions on how to handle things.
/end rant-resume trying to convince others your OPINION is the only way to go.
