Items rezzing of their own accord

I was editing various objects on my parcel and noticed 2 trees sticking out of my house. I assumed I had edited them there by mistake and took them into inventory. Then I saw some of my cushions half in and half out of the house. I took these into inventory too, but I hadn't used these particular cushions in that house at all AFAIR. On my next door neighbour's parcel I saw 2 metal fence panels - both created by and belonging to me, but that I haven't used for about a month, and another tree (but not one of those I had been editing). They had not been there moments earlier. I took them into inventory and logged out.

When I logged in again the two trees were back in the house, there was a planter with flowers (belonging to me) in my neighbour's parcel, and in another neighbour's parcel, a birdhouse created by and belonging to me. I took the birdhouse back into inventory and there still seemed to be one there, so I took that back too. I later tried rezzing another copy of the birdhouse to find it was now a fountain (also made by me). The edit box showed that it was still called a fountain. I took it back into inventory where it was once more listed as a birdhouse.

I deleted all these items as I had copies, and I thought it was better not to risk using items that had behaved so bizarrely

Finally, after boasting today that I hadn't fallen victim to the inventory bug, I have succumbed (ah, hubris): a mailbox I had ordered on slexchange was successfully delivered to me in-world and I took it into inventory, along with several other slx purchases. When I logged in again, the mailbox was missing, although all the other purchased items that I had taken into inventory without opening or rezzing before logging out were there.

I have reported the the last problem as a bug, but I didn't know whether the first problem was something others had experienced, or just a minor glitch. Everything seems normal now. BTW, I don't allow others to create or edit objects on my parcel, or run scripts.

I believe this was related to the inventory bug. Phoenix has been working on it, so we're on top of things.

Please continue to file bug reports if you see this kind of thing happening again. That's the best way to get issues like this on our radar. Thanks!
