I am sure many of you got this same email, but I want to make sure EVERYONE knows about this crap. I have contact info for the Hovey's if anyone has any info. PM me. Here is the email I got:

Bartholomew has always been one of our favorite courses in Austin and

John has played it almost every weekday at lunch for months now but

after today we've lost that loving feeling. John stopped his play today

(10/27 approx. 1:00pm) to help a guy push his dead vehicle up 51st,

sadly leaving his bag in the grass with approx. $300 in plastic (a few

discs that will be difficult to replace), his cell phone, car keys and

watch in it. In reward for his being a good samaritan, his bag was

stolen by two guys (Hispanic?) in a puke orange colored old car

(Maverick or Gremlin maybe?). They took off in the opposite direction

down 51st, leaving John stranded and ultimately doused upon by the rain

as he baby-sat our car fearing the guys would come back and steal it

too. If anyone knows anything or comes across any of his goods (who

knows what they'll do with the plastic which is all marked), please

e-mail at [withheld]or phone at [withheld]. We're really upset

as we don't feel like we can ever take that car to Bart again, fearing

it would be stolen. Disc golfers beware...



Thanks!

I have a feeling someone like that might try the same thing again. Keep an eye out for that puke orange car and maybe even inform play it again sports. They might try to go hock the discs and get something for them. If it felt easy to them they might target that area looking for the next victim. Keep an eye out and maybe set an empty bag out if the same car is seen camping out. Have an individual in a car to block them off. This pisses me off so much. Makes me want to get a rope!

this really sucks, i think a rope would be a little lenient!
