  • Criminal #2 "steals" a high-dollar card from that table

  • Criminal #1 "discovers" the card and claims they are the rightful owner of stolen property
  • The criminals now have the card back and the money paid by the dealer

Personally, I'd call the police, the show promoter, and a lawyer...and not necessarily in that order.
That's why many said they would need to see a police report.
