It's a Fibonacci sequence number of decades though
Just think: number of earth revolutions between this event and now minus the number of earth revolutions since Jesus Christ divided by number of fingers and thumbs on a human written out in base (number of fingers and thumbs on a human) is a sequence where each digit is the sum of the previous two digits.
For your specific case: maybe 1 in 10000. Or 1 in 5000 because "11230" would fit just as well.
So about 13 bits of improbability.
But your hypothesis took a lot more than 13 bits to encode! It would be better compressed to say "Just think: 12350. What are the chances?"
That an elaborate explanation can be found to fit a number is not that surprising when you consider how many possible elaborate explanations there are.

That's amazing! I've got the same combination on my luggage!
Same as my bank pin too!
Now your balance is 00000!
this made me laugh
I don't know why you're being downvoted for quoting Spaceballs.
Presumably because it's "not the kind of discussion we want to foster here at HN".
