Default Exit question.

I hold a British passport and recently entered the USA from Canada with my (now ex) employer for business. All was fine entering and we re-entered approximately an hour later. This morning I look in my passport and note that that green re-entry card was still present and had not been taken by border control.

I am a bit worried now because it says that if the card is not surrendered on re-entry it may cause me to have problems entering again in the future. What should I do

you use the search button to find a thread that gives you the address of the place (in Kentucky I believe) where you send your card into

Remove the card from your passport and mail it to:

DHS-CBP SBU,
1084 South Laurel Road
London, Kentucky 40744
USA

... and then you can forget about it and get on with life.

Well I personally just wouldn't mail something like that without a cover letter, doesn't need to be a novel just why you are sending it to them

No one likes a smart arse

As I was already a poster in the Canadian ex pat forum and found it very useful I thought I would ask the posters in here and hoped they would be as helpful.
Thanks to those who were polite and helpful. It was much appreciated.

Au contraire! Not only do I like a smart arse (which, by the way, completely negates your generalization), but the post was spot on accurate. Perhaps you lost your sense of humor when you crossed the border!
