Narrative:

After takeoff, notified by departure control that something had fallen from aircraft on takeoff. Further investigation confirmed, 3 rubber chocks had fallen from aircraft. I suspect they were left on the gear doors and when gear was raised, the chocks fell off the doors when they opened to receive the gear. As I personally did the walkaround, I can conceive of no other explanation.
