For those of you who've experienced the recent frustration of scripted objects turning invisible, physical and have been unable to take these items or delete them, I'm happy to say that this morning I've found a solution!

Here's my situation and what I did (in as great detail as I can manage on 1 cup of java...)

I had a skybox I'd built, with a pool and pool tubes. I decided that I wanted to rebuild on land level, so went about taking items and deleting others.

Two of the pool tubes still counted against my prim allowance but I couldn't see them.

When I went to the 2 prim platform I left there (as a marker of sorts), if I brought up "About Land" and clicked "Show Owned by Parcel Owner" they appeared as invisible objects, highlighted in white. I was unable to select them and ctrl-alt-t as well as other things didn't help me to get them back.

THE FIX:

I went to where I knew the objects were

I brought up "About Land" and clicked "Show Owned by Parcel Owner", leaving that window open, but minimized to highlight the problematic objects

I right clicked the platform and brought up the Edit window (I imagine you could also bring up build, but this is what I did).

Once both those windows were up, I left clicked outside the range of the objects, held down the left mouse button and dragged, bringing up the selection box/outline.

As soon as the 2 objects were within that "box"", I released the mouse button and BLAM there they were in all their "originally created form" glory.

At that time I was able to right click/take or right click/delete.

YIPPEE

Hope this helps people who've been plagued by prim issues

I just went back to land level and anything in that selection box was picked up from there, too. Thankfully it was just a dock (easy to rebuild), but you'll want to keep that in mind if you're doing it, say, over a house LOL
