It has happened to me on more than one occasion this season - I just renewed my stock of balls and this time around I got Yellow Chrome Softs...hopefully this helps!

I've had it happen numerous times on my old homecourse. During just regular rounds, during Friday-night matches, during summercup matches and even in the stroke play championship. It's not the main reason I'm gone, but it sure is part of it.Hey guys.
This weekend I was out with my wife playing a social round. The hole is a dog leg to the right, about 400 meters (which for you Americans is about 440ish yards). Perfect 250 meter drive, up to the top of the corner.
Watched someone on the next hole as my wife hit, chunk a low slice that rolled down our fairway, probably 20 yards from my ball.
I watched the group in front come over to our fairway, check both balls, point out where his was, then walk back and pick mine up. We're not out of sight, clearly coming up the fairway to both our balls. Mines clearly clearly marked with a massive green line all the way around for putting alignment as well as other marks.
After approaching they initially looked confused about what I was asking, and then said oh were you playing a titleist Pro V1x too, pulled out my ball and handed it back. I asked if his was marked similar but the guy just walked off.
Has anyone else had this happen and how did you deal with it?
To say I was annoyed was an understatement. Firstly that they picked up a ball with a group on a fairway that were yet to reach it, secondly that they appeared to try and hide that they were talking an expensive ball just because it was there.

Probably over reacting but just interested to see how often people have this happen, actually whitnessing someone essentially stealing another persons ball very obviously in play.
Cheers as always guys, Met.
Are you Sicillian?Inconceivable! I coat my golf balls with a temporary paralysis poison. I have spent years developing immunity to that poison. Easy to find people if they take my ball.
I've seen this, and it is annoying. Part of the reason why I never make my playing partners take a penalty for a lost ball if we know it landed somewhere safe.
I've had this happen. It sucks.
At my home course, the rule is simple. If you are in another fairway other than the one you should be in and there is a group/player, whatever on the tee or on that hole, but not having reached their ball, then you have NO right to be in that fairway until the group/player passes. That stops this from happening (most of the time).
I have to say, rollin, (and I apologize for being off topic) that every time I see your avatar it causes me to smile.
