While at google i/o, there were a lot of references to Alex Meddleton who lost his fish. There were tweets flying around, during the keynote on some pre-slides there was a HELP I LOST MY FISH MESSAGE as well.
Scattered at the firebase area in google i/o were hundreds of these cards.

Decks of cards were scattered at the Firebase table as well.
Emailing the address on the business card results in this auto reply email:
Hi,
I’m currently busy trying to locate a missing fish. Could you help? It was last seen at firebase.foo. I might be able to give you an I/O 2017 ticket if you help me find it.
Sincerely,
Alex

If you call the following number (415) 799-1261, you get a google voice number of a robo-googler. He says he lost his fish and your efforts will be in vain. Then he puts you on hold with some robo music.
