Quote from Marshall in Where Were We?
Ted: So you knocked out Lily's new boyfriend? Marshall: Yeah. It wasn't Lily's boyfriend. Ted: What? Who was he? Future Ted: [v.o.] His name was Joey Adalian. He went by a number of aliases as an identity thief. Apparently, earlier in the summer... [flashback:] Lily: Oh, this is so embarrassing. I could've sworn I have some change. I know, I know, I'm sorry. Oh, here we go. No that's, that's a button... It was a button. Do you take credit cards? Joey Adalian: Yes, I do. [back:] Ted: So Lily is not back in town and she doesn't have a boyfriend. That's good news, right? Marshall: Yeah. I don't know. Those credit card charges were the only remaining connection I had to her. I don't know where she is or what she's doing. She was my whole life man and now she's... She's gone.
