This local ain't got it. BTW, are we abolutely sure it was stolen? Maybe it was picked up by someone from CO and we don't have all the facts.

"Wallet candy" is a comp'ed elite card.
It is generally given to CEO's and execs who have corporate agreements with CO. They generally buy FC tickets anyway, but the comp'ed Plat card is candy in their wallet.

Perhaps CO should sell them, and the carpets, too. @:-)
In the meantime, are we any closer to the resolution of this issue that affects the reputation of FT as a whole and the likelihood of a follow-on meeting in a couple of years?
Has anyone contacted CO about this matter? I know it would be embarrassing to ask, but let's not get in a tizzy if the carpet were actually removed properly by CO itself.

I really hope no attendee stole the carpet... would really be sleazy and low class.

It is really sad that a person/s felt the need to take the blue carpet. Yes, it would be kind of cool to have one in your home but, CO was nice enough to bring a few to the meetings and it was really tacky to simply take it home.
