So, I'm gonna ask my fellow RPFers to help me out on identifying this turd.
My boyfriend and I work for the Tolkien Track, and have for the past 3 years at Dragon*con. Before that we were "honorary staff by association", and we've always counted on the generous decoration donations by fans and track goers.
Well this year, a husband and a wife that have donated so much to the track in the past, donated a few extra standees this year for decoration in and outside the track. The standees were placed outside the door during panels to "advertise".
Saturday night, the 'Board of the Rings' gaming panel was going on between 9 and 10. This doucebag comes up, steals the Legolas standee out of the 3 others surrounding it, and decides to make off with it, stopping every few feet to take idiotic pictures. He was spotted running towards the Marriott doors, and never returned the standee.
Now, this may seem like "a piece of cardboard" to some of you, but this standee is hard to find and out of print. The cheapest it runs for is about $80, and you're hard pressed to find that. And, even if it's small, it's still wrong. It's one thing to run around with it, take a few stupid pictures, then replace it where it stood. It's another thing entirely to just up and steal it, not thinking about the person who generously put it there for the weekend only.
Anyway, the standee has 'WERT' written in black pen on the back, and it's the last name of the person who owns it. Mr. Wert and his wife don't want any hard feelings against this individual, but I do, as a staff member who thinks this is just stupid ass behavior, but technically it's up to Mr. Wert. All he wants to his standee back, and I'd like to replace his faith in donating to our track again.
I tried enlarging the name on the idiot's badge, but all I could get out of it was the first name being Jonathan or Joshua. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
