WAMALUG labels baseplates and track. We haven't had to tag minifigs yet
because most people populate their own mocs, and I have enough to populate
downtown. We've done very well with segregation, when several people bring
identical sets (trains, vehicles etc.) we simply mark them with small plates in
unnoticable places. We have very little "club property". The LEGO carpet,
K8's and train table skirts are all I can think of. Most of the tables belong
to Tom until we finish paying him back.
