I'm in the process of building a house, and I'm often tweaking the positional numbers "by hand" to get them precise. Twice now, I've managed to cause some objects to disappear. I'm not at all sure how I did it, since I'm pretty sure the numbers I put in were valid. There's a chance I could have null'd a value before hitting enter, maybe? Anyway, the "About Land" dialog indicates that the objects are still present somewhere (it says there are 14 objects when I only count 13 with a "show"  . I'm actually surprised it isn't 15, since I've lost two objects. Is there a way to list the positions of all the objects I own? I've checked the KB and FAQs but I may have missed it.

Hi Da
it's very easy to miss a decimal point and for values to go so far out of range that the object disappears on you, either vertically or horizontally.
Vertically, it's almost impossible to put underground unless you terraform over the top of objects. Objects can go up to somewhere around 750 M (off hand not sure of the exact number) and you can get some assisted flight you can go up and retrieve them.
Horizontally, you need to look carefully at the minimap where your object will be marked in blue and usually very, very small somewhere else in your sim. Then you can just go after your object and "take" it back to your inv. If it lands on some land that has return set on it, then it will be returned to your lost & found. Similarly, land owners can return your objects some times days later.
If you are really stuck you can go to your land tab and clear all objects off your land. That is guaranteed to catch everything and put back in to you l & f.
