STOLEN COLLECTION- PLEASE READ

Fellow Chip Collectors,

It is with much sadness that I have to report that my entire chip collection was stolen yesterday January 30, 2012. Well, at least all the high end chips. My home was broken into sometime between 2:30pm & 3:50pm PST. I had three safes in my house and they took two of them, one contained my chip collection as well as some other items. The following is what was in the safe to the best of my recollection at this time. Nine full (9 page Dansco preminum binders w/81 chips each). Total of 729 chips and about 50-60 loose chips. Binders were marked and contained the following:The Mint LV, Stardust, Desert Inn, Strip LV, Downtown LV, Misc. Nevada & LV, Mfg. Samples, Misc. California. Safe also contained the loose chips listed above. These were mostly TR King Sample chips as well as some current issue house chips, as well as 30-40 red & blue cap silver strikes, 10- uncirc $1 Silver certs, 3- $2 bills uncirc in displays, & 4- Carson City Silver Dollars, (slabbed).

If anyone happens to hear of someone trying to sell a collection that sounds like mine please email or phone me at 310-613-0918, and I will be in contact with the Torrance CA, Police Dept.

Thanks all!!
