Security breach?

I was gone over the holiday and came back to find a couple of rezzed cubes in my home. I have a locked door as the only entrance. I have have landmarks and building forbidden in the Options tab but didn't have scripts disabled. One of the trespassers identifies himself as a scripter ... Is it possible to rez a cube inside a supposedly secure space from outside? Being a girl, it's kinda scary that such things can happen, especially after trying to make my place secure.

Am open to any suggestions for greater security ... I have added no fly ...

Thanks.

They probably rezzed the boxes on an adjacent parcel, and then either used the edit tools to move them into your house, or did it with scripts.

Best thing would be to set your land for like 10 minute autoreturn of anything that doesn't belong to you (unless it is not your land; ie, you are renting).

It can happen accidentally too... I often send prims flying around my sim by typing in the wrong number in the edit box. As Talarus said, a quick autoreturn is your best bet.

I appreciate the help!

There is no security in SL, you just have to learn to live with it. You can buy a security system, but they generally tend to make you unpopular with the neighbors....

I like to assume this kind of thing is unintentional which it probably is most of the time. I was messing around with the position of a fog generator on my first land parcel. I lost control of the mouse and the fog generator went careening off who knows where and i could not find it. I was glad when someone returned it. I would say setting your land to autoreturn object that are not yours is a courtesy to your neighbors who might lose things on your land.

do the boxes bite? because that would scare me too

Seriously, before I had autoreturn on, I had plywood that didn't belong to me in my house too. It was my neighbor's building something and lost control of some prims.

Honestly though - it's just plywood and as someone said to me when I first joined, if it was not a welcome guest, it's not like they can muss up your sheets

I was installing a rather large fireplace into my house, moving it this way and that whilst IMing my partner. Pow! it dissappeared!
There it was in my inventory. I'd inadvertently pushed it back through the wall which is very close to my boundary and next door auto-returned it LOL

It does happen (to mislay prims etc), the last time for me was to loose a hamper which sad to relate was no copy. In the main I would say there is a high possibility it was a genuine accident and would give the owner of the prim the benefit of the doubt.

The only possible exception would be if I found it had a script inside it and even then it could be totally innocent (a vehicle) for example.

Simply send it back via auto return, forget it, and set a auto return on your land of say 5 minutes.

They were probably caused by somebody building something elsewhere in the sim, and unintentionally typing a wrong number into an edit box.... when this happens, the box can "snap" to almost any location in the sim.

That said...



Locked doors are trivial to defeat in SL, and are pretty much worthless. Simply pan your camera to the other side of the door, right click on any object inside the "locked" room, and select "Sit". Voila! - you're inside the room.

Very true...I also found that speed enhancing jetpacks or other devices worn on the body make it possible to travel fast enough to fly THROUGH objects. On many occasions I have accidentally flown into someones house through the wall while flying across a parcel.
