Iventory reduction on purpose?

Ok, so I been around awhile now and certainly long enough when to know something is amiss. My inventory was recently reduced by 3,000. I have no idea whats gone but I know many scripts and notecards at the very least. Thing is where did they go? I have heard stories of missing inventory for awhile and thought"well, probably show up in a day or so", .
This is bs and I'm not buying it was accidental too many to suddenly go south and there were things I know I have used many times over the last two years specifically notecards on how to use some of my builds. Sk need to get your *s* together

Ray, the asset servers have been flakey for several weeks now. Plus, LL is "updating the software on their central servers" today. It's nothing that is targeted deliberately at you...even though I know it must seem like it.

The missing items will *probably* come back. Clearing cache and relogging in an empty sim may encourage them to return.

As to where inventory goes, when it isn't in your inventory...I dunno. That's one for the philosophers.
