Objects in twilight zone, any ideas?

This is actually a friend's problem, but there have been issues with getting LL to recognize payment info so far, so I'll go for it.

About two days ago, she pulled two rezzed no-copy (ugh) objects back into her inventory. no trace of them in the inventory. They cannot be seen in their former places, though, and the usual "highlight transparent" and flipping various render features on and off give no joy either. They are simply invisible.

I stopped by the sim where this happened and was able to "see" them using a sensor (and can still see them). Both objects are scripted and the scripts are definitely still running; one of them accepts chat commands and still responds to them.

The sensor distances show that they are still supposedly in the locations they were in before the take attempt, and if I shoot particles at them the result also says the missing objects are still there. The land owner tried returning all objects belinging to her, everything except these two objects was successfully returned (and, after the return attempt, the ghost presences are unchanged).

We are kind of expecting that the rolling restart will make _something_ happen, be it total annihilation of the ghost objects, a return to inventory, or a quiet return to their original spots. Meanwhile, is there anything else that might be tried to nudge these objects into a less ghostly state?

A sim restart will usually bring ghost prims back into your inventory. This need not be a rolling restart, but since one is coming anyway, it should do the trick.

Ok, so nothing to do but wait for a sim restart and keep fingers crossed then? Poo (would be nice to try a restart before LL forces the issue, but it's a busy spot that won't want to kick everyone off over 1000L worth of personal items.)

Does this happen now? The ghost prims in the past never returned even after a sim restart. The no-copy items were just gone for good.

In theory the ghosting was fixed -- items didn't disappear from the world until they made it back to the inventory -- but we seem to be getting a new rash of ghost prim complaints. Kind of like a cheesy horror flick... you keep thinking you've killed the monster, but he keeps coming back.
