Mab preventing use of Little Chicago
peregrine:
That's the one I'm thinking of. Nothing he says outright says it was destroyed, just that it could not have survived the fire. The thing about loss may or may not be related, if you want to be pedantic.

That has always been my reading too. Jim seems to have faeried around saying outright that LC was indeed destroyed.
Serack:
Meh, yes there is wiggle room, but it is so minuscule...
The thing is if it was retrieved pre-fire, wherever it is, it would have to be maintained, or it would be relatively useless today. Yes it would be better than starting from the ground floor, but without the protection of a sanctuary like Harry's and continual magical maintenance, all the magical "conduits" are probably washed away by all those sunrises, and the general evolution of the city would have rendered it an inaccurate thaumatlogical (however we spell it today) link.
I feel it is less likely that it will be restored to Harry than his old shield bracelet (which is a non-zero chance I'll admit). I think there is a higher degree of likeliness that if it still exists, it will be in the hands of an antagonist who is using it for ill.
I think we have precedent that if a Fae were the one who pulled it from the lab, they would be metaphysically obligated to return his "property" and they haven't

yet.
There is the addendum that Jim states, pick up the pieces and go forward.

Other options (in decreasing order of plausiblity):
1) The threshold around Harry apartment was so weakend (by the FBI and possibly also once the fire started), that it didn't take much for even a faerie to grab LC.
2) A Faerie (e.g. Cat Sith) grabbed LC but was then Nemfected, and that somehow gets around said faerie's need to return it (far-fecthed, but possible).
3) TT Harry grabbed it. ;)
4) LC gained sentinence (through it's inclusion of Demonreach?) and saved itself.
5) Mister saved it.
