WBTV 3 News, Weather, Sports, and Traffic for Charlotte, NC

They’re only filing now, 18 months later? If you read between the lines of what they’re saying, they asked the Democratic National Convention organizers for them back and only decided to file after they got zip.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) –
The Democratic National Convention has been over for 18 months, but it’s still fresh in the mind of one company who filed a police report saying it can’t find $75,000 worth of equipment. LG Electronics spoke with WBTV and explained why it decided to tell police now.

The DNC ended in September 2012. LG electronics based in New Jersey had hundreds and hundreds of displays for delegates and convention participants.

“A number of the products were sold on site and after the event. But the majority were returned to our warehouse they came back safe and sound,” said John I. Taylor, a LG spokesperson.

After the DNC people packed up and left the Time Warner Cable Arena, but LG says somehow 72 of their tvs walked away. Taylor said during a convention it’s not unusual to lose an item or two, but this was a lot.

“But there were some goods missing, a substantial amount around $75,000 worth and we were unable through our internal investigations and our ongoing dialogs with the DNC to resolve this,” said Taylor, “So, we’re working with our insurance company and the Charlotte police.”

Gee, I wonder who took the TVs?

It should be noted that the DNC filed reports with the police for other missing and stolen electronics from the convention, but inflated the prices of the items by incredible amounts, claiming a $500,000 loss.
