Try this (untested, but should work):

on mouseup
   put the value of the clickline into tText
   set the itemdelimiter to tab
   delete item 2 to -1 of tText
   put the short id of this card into origCdID
   lock screen
   find string tText in fld "theText"
   if the short id of this card <> origCdID then
      go cd id origCdID
      beep
      find empty
   end if
end mouseup
