177. I doubt it

except maybe items that may have been official gifts from other nations that are usually kept in storage and managed by a Curator (with some that might be have eventually kept/displayed by the Smithsonian), for example dinnerware/stemware or sculptures, or paintings, furniture, tapestries, etc.

There were AP images circulating of the move-out and some of the boxes and bins of stuff that had been taken that were mixed in with personal items -

The Post and The Times reported that some of the items in the boxes included letters to Trump from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un — which Trump described as beautiful "love letters," a note from former President Barack Obama, a map on which Trump drew with a Sharpie to mark a possible hurricane path to Alabama, and at least one piece of clothing. Gifts that made their way from the White House to Mar-a-Lago include a plaque and replica of a piece of the US-Mexico border wall, a signature Trump 2016 campaign pledge, which was previously displayed in the private dining room next to the Oval Office, the Post said. A miniature replica of Air Force One, decorated the way Trump wanted to repaint and redesign it, went from being displayed in the Oval Office to a prominent spot in Mar-a-Lago's lobby.

The Democratic leaders of two congressional committees, Rep. Carolyn Maloney and Sen. Gary Peters, have said they will open investigations of Trump's potential violations of federal records laws. The Archives has also asked the Department of Justice to investigate whether Trump broke the law in taking official White House items, the Post reported.

Representatives for Trump did not immediately return Insider's request for comment. The latest reporting isn't the first time the Trump administration has faced scrutiny over missing and undisclosed gifts. Politico reported in August 2021, for example, that over 20 types of gifts were missing from the State Department's gift vault after Trump left office.

The Department's internal watchdog is investigating, among other missing gifts, whether Trump political appointees stole gift bags intended for foreign attendees of the 2020 G7 summit, which was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, upon leaving office The New York Times reported in October 2021. The White House also failed to disclose gifts of what appeared to be cheetah and tiger fur robes given to Trump by the Saudi Royal Family until Trump's last day in office, when the White House turned them over to the General Services Administration, The Times reported last year. The US Fish and Wildlife Service later determined the robes were not, in fact, made of real tiger or cheetah fur, but had been dyed.

The bolded parrt of the above may be what triggered what happened yesterday.

I would hazard to guess that actual documents might have been kept in the boxes except for a select few that criminals like Flynn would know what they represented, and much of the artifacts may have actually been displayed around the residence and might have been part of what were removed in the seizure.

It's entirely possible that many promo photos of the inside of the M-A-L resort, included views of rooms that contained items on display that were stolen at move-out (or even before), and those objects may have been included on the seizure list.
