~~~ (as reportrd here; archived) called me to come down and claim my chips and plaques.

Though they were not many pieces since most of my inventory was in vaults, everything that was on my desk was recovered.

Other than me spreading the word of the hit, PBSO also had my personal bank checks which noted "I COLLECT OBSOLETE CASINO CHIPS" imprinted.

The bottom line was that they explained to me most collectables like this usually turn up in a few days/weeks... though the recovery is hardly ever reported to an insurance company (or elsewhere)... though some have posted here regarding the recovery when family members were involved in the theft.

They further explained this is a very common practice especially when either parents find the material or in the case of the obvious... Other than that, they were very tight-lipped in giving me any other info -- and my insurance wasn't too interested in the outcome, either.
