I'm not sure if this issue will be in the latest release, but worth a post anyway.

After getting annoyed at being asked the million dollar question "What r u buildin?" I packed up my stuff and headed to my home in Kupi.

A freak storm had blown a sailing vessel 40m up the side of the mountain I call home. The sailing vessel was trying to make a vain attempt at returning to the gentleness of the sea. With physics happily enabled the ship was forever moving attempting to free itself from its dry prison.

I right click the sailing vessel, the thump of the radial interface immediately snapped to 'buy' and I was asked if I wanted to buy a copy of this sailing vessel. No. Right click, thump buy? No.

I go to my land control panel, and see a single prim not owned by me, I hit return and the prim count goes to 0. Alas the ship is still there, some other prim was happily reunited with it's creator/owner.

So I try to jump start the ship in the hopes it could be sent back down into the sea to stop its endless attempt to free itself. No dice...

So I start building again, 30 minutes later Tupi crashes, I exit SL and reload SL. It's still there. An hour later another crash... the ship is still there. Taunting me with its silent laughter bouncing with each hearty laugh as I tried in vain to reunite it with its owner.

Heh. I could build a ship catapult for you. I'm going on 24 hours awake now, but.... hold on...

Oh. Right. SL's down. Just use PushObject in a script, shove it in the direction of the nearest water, plus up, and tack on a *9999999999999 or somesuch, and fire it rapidly. Should work.

"Night!" "Zzzzzzzzz"

I've found push-guns to be very useful in pushing unwanted physical objects off world. The only one I know of is Chung's Seburo, but I'm not a collector.

I flew around a bit, finally found your land... no boat, so I'm guessing it got removed/returned.

The update may have forced it back into its owner's hands. I'm glad it's gone ^^
