I was there on Sat. oogling at the different offerings of corals from the vendors so I wasn't paying attn. to much else. Went there with my gf and our two little girls. This is her first time going there as I'm trying to get her into "reefing". She was mostly trying to keep the girls away from me so I can browse freely. Anyway....after a while she told me that she had witnessed a guy pick up a white container with a blue lid and slip it into his yellow bag because the vendor was busy talking to someone. She said the guy went and told his friend about it and when she saw this she went close to the vendor so that these guys would not try and come back for more. Because she said that, it appeared that the friend wanted to come and get one of his own. She said that when they saw her... she shook her head at them, so they just kinda walked away. This happened when I was talking to Garret.

RAP was fun wish I coulda stayed longer but the girls were bored and I couldn't enjoy it as much I would have liked to. Feel bad my gf witnessed that but it is what it is ...

I think you are talking about the Boyd/Chemi Pure Booth. I think I saw those kids also. They were giving out free Chemi Pure Blue at the booth which is in a white container and blue lid. You are right though not right for these punks to steal them.

It happens but vendors do give away a lot of free samples. If they stole it then hope karma kicks in and nukes their tank. If it was someone taking a sample and slipping away to avoid a sales pitch then no harm done

GF told me after the fact, she didn't want to get involved as she was taking care of our little girls. Apparently they were free??? I don't know I just wanted to share and I was hoping someone would say that they were arrested or something...

Someone also stole $300 bucks worth of magnets and brand new cordless drill when a LFS owner went to his van and forgot to lock it. LFS owner went to his van to get water to help another vendor. Sucks

You know I don't know what those two guys look like that kept robbing people but while we were running the booth I saw a couple guys holding a cup really close to one of the tanks (asian and a white guy). Two things caught my eye really quick...

1. I noticed that the cup was not from the show but from an am/pm. Which means he snuck it in.

2. I was watching them very closely and when he saw me watching him he got very nervous and walked away. That's how I knew something was up. I was way to busy to follow them but I still tried but by the time I got out of the booth I didn't even see them
