First, I will say again i agree with what you are trying to do, but our views of "stolen" items are way different. It doesn't matter private park, public park or my living room someone looses something, gives up on looking for it and leaves no information on how to return it, they are S.O.L. Finding and keeping a blank disc shouldn't label someone as a criminal and incur "consequences".
Second, things look more complicated by the daily task of retrieving discs out of the pond. I would hope that shop profits wouldn't be spent bringing back plastic that would hurt sales of regular store items. If you are leading this crusade of hole 13 on your own dime then i wish you all the best. Again, its for a good cause i know, but your guidelines on retrieval need to be revamped if it will ever take hold. There will be more problems with disputes and accusations as the rules stand now, rather then someone being out a disc that they shouldn't of thrown in the first place.
Ultimately this is still a game of golf, and as in ball golf you can't go to the clubhouse and ask for the 3 balls you hit in the river earlier in the day. Why make it any different. Anyway loosing a 20 dollar disc in the water is the best motivation to improve your game, avoid hazards and be a better golfer.
