What to do with I-94 that was not surrendered on departure?

I recently traveled to Europe and by oversight by the airlines and me my I-94 was not collected. I reentered the US and obtained a new I-94 without any problems. I asked the immigration officer what I should do with my old I-94 (I even showed it to him.) He simply gave it back to me and asked me to give it to the airline which I flew out on. So, I went to the airline and told them about it; but, the agent there asked me to go to the nearest INS office and surrender it.

Has anyone any experience with this? Can I just disregard this issue since I have a new I-94?

BTW, I reentered on my Advance Parole pending AOS.

Thx
 
Though you have reentered but I would suggest you mail the I-94 it to the immigration office of the airport from where you departed the US and submit copies of boarding pass, credit card bills for shopping in foreign locations etc. (the proofs that you actually left the U.S.). Though nothing can be expected from them, forget about the acknowledgement, but still it is better to keep copies of the documents that you send and the postal receipt for future purposes.
