I agree that the tournament chips belong to the casino. However ALL chips belong to the casino. They are simply IOUs to be paid to the bearer prior to leaving the property. If you want clairification I can get you in touch with an "expert". But it boils down to anytime you take a chip from a casino, it's "stealing", so I don't have much problem with that.
My only twinge of guilt or whatever you want to call it, is taking chips out of play. If you bust out, you are shorting the guy that busted you a few chips and that is not fair. You are also shorting yourself, what if you pocketed a 100NCV and busted out because your opponent had your exact chip count. The saying "Chip and a Chair" was not created because it sounds cool.
BTW - You don't take those cool signs home from bars?
Take Care,
