I once had a gate-dragon at LHR threaten to refuse me boarding onto the plane because he noticed with old stamps on my EuroVW passport that I used to have a Green Card. I told him I didn't have one anymore, but he absolutely wanted to see evidence of it. Through sheer luck I happened to have the piece of paper the US embassy produces after a GC has been given up somewhere in my travel folder. Not too sure how it would have turned out otherwise...
