Sky trash located half on my property?

Hello -

Recently, an odd object appeared over my land, in the air. Looks like someone is building an airplane. I checked my land, but the object/object owner is not listed in About Land. Just to be sure, I flew up to it, then floated down...part of the item(s) are definitely on my land (Newman 244, 82, 107). However, the object is also partially on the neighboring (new) Linden Land Sim (Kootenay). Can you please set the Kootenay to autoreturn, and/or help me get rid of this Sky Trash? Unfortunately, choosing "Edit" on the item does not display the owner of the objects, so I can't request that they retrieve them.

As an odd side note, the object has some text imbedded in it which are coordinates. The text reads: "Newman @ 256.19750, 80.00000 , 134.86719" Is it possible that this is a bug/exploit to allow someone to park their item without it being returnable?

I can't tell you how much I despise Sky Trash, and the fact that people are able to just leave random prims floating around in the sky -- even when it is "their" land. I believe some people even do it on purpose, to block others' view or just to annoy them. In my opinion, this is really a misuse of SL and I can't imagine it was Lindens' intent. No idea how it can be solved, but wish someone would come up with something.

Anyway, thanks in advance.

Hello Isobel. I went to look and it looks like auto-return in Kootenay has already been set. I could not find this plane.

I do not know about the embedded text, but it is probably more like a GPS system, just informing the owner of its location.
