Missing inventory items

[Talligurl]

I have some items that have gone missing from my inventory, I am not sure how many, but there are two I know of for sure. One of these has gone missing twice, the first time I noticed it was missing after it and a lot of other items had been returned by a guy who had let me put my stuff on his land. I got upset with him, told him it was ll his fault, and got him to spend 900L to buy me a new one, now that one is gone as well, even though last time I saw it I took it back into my inventory. The item as you can guess I am sure is no-copy. Two questions, 1, What might cause this and how might I prevent it in the future, and 2, Is there a SL trick that might get my items back?

It could be your viewers inventory file has been corrupted. Clear your cache and re-log into a water region with nothing on it. Don't do anything. Don't IM, Voice walk around etc. Just let your inventory rebuild itself.

If you still don't see your missing items, do a clean re-install of your viewer. The link provided is for the official SL viewer, but also works for third party viewers. You viewer name will be substituted for the SL viewer name.

Did the fix I suggested to you a few weeks ago not work?

In case you didn't get a chance to see the reply, here it is.

I don't know if this will help you or not, but it may help someone.

I recently thought I had lost two objects. One was a boat and the other was a robot companion.

I had typed everything I could think of in the inventory search bar and never saw them and I was convinced they had poofed.

 

But since I had bought them both from the marketplace, I went there and looked through all my past purchases. Found both of them and what they were actually called.

Went back to my inventory and typed their actual names and found them.

 

Like I said, this might not help you in your situation, but it's worth a shot.

With my inventory getting larger by the day, I always worry about something spilling out and being lost in the cracks and not knowing until that one time I think to look for it.

Good luck.

Since you already tried what I suggested and it didn't work, then I suspect that your item or items has become disassociated from your account in the data asset server.  This has happened to me occasionally as I have a huge inventory.  Once my entire inventory was gone, even everything I was wearing and I logged in as a gray Ruth.

If you are premium and file a support ticket giving the missing items names and creator, support may be able to retrieve them.

If you are not premium then there really is nothing you can do.  As you experienced before they probably will show back up in your inventory sometime in the future.  I've had things returned to me a few weeks to a few months after their loss. 

If this item is really important to you I'd buy another if you can afford it.  Maybe even one to send to an alt for safekeeping in case this repeats.
