Missing: One Channel Award

They looked like this when they picked up their award for SME Reseller of the Year.

But CCS Media's celebrations were short-lived on November 18 when someone pinched their award just hours after they picked it up.

I have only just been told this occurred.

Managing director Terry Betts said to me: "We had given it to one of our team to look after who was leaving early, but they put it on the bar to buy a round and when they turned around to pick it back up it had vanished."

Now, I know there were some annoyed people on the night who didn't win anything - but to steal someone else's is taking a bit far don't you think?

It might have been a joke gone too far, or (i hope not) a deliberate act of sabotage.

But if you know where this award is - and it has CCS Media's name printed on it so you can't pretend its yours - please get in touch.

We won't give you (much) of a hard time and you would make one company very happy all over again.

Come on, it is Christmas!
