Lost land parcel and items on Halloween plot.

I am not sure how or why this happened. I bought a 512m sq. Halloween plot an hour or so after the noon release today. I placed the beginnings of my build there. I had to log out and go to work. When I arrived home from work and went to add on to the build, I found it was now owned by Taylor Thompson, and has a build on it. It has been cordoned off by the striped barricades , which it was not when I bought it, although I saw Nova working on them on the other end. Haney was also in the area.

No great loss although I did have my pick of the litter and chose the flattest plot as we are not allowed to terraform them. Just wondering why this may have happened, whether it is a bug or not, and if not, why I wasnt at least supplied with an offline IM telling me the whys and wherefores.

As I said above no great loss as there were still lots available when I logged back in, one of which I purchased. (Come on ppl buy em up, no taxes and it's in the Halloween spirit afterall)

Thanks and best regards, The Great Pumpkin

Any replies are much appreciated.

Burning Halloween needs some advertising, there were a lot of plots available.
