Find objects on your land.. that you dont own?

Dear forum friends...

What do you do when you find objects on your land.. that you dont own?????

As a builder -sometimes I am that for fun - and I am very exakt when building.. try to not disturb neighbours.. say hello to all i meet..

But as all humans I can do wrong, miss.. things as ...border´s... as an example - Borders under water are terrible hard to be sure where they are starting or ending...when you look from above...

To the question....

When I have found objects on lands where I am an officer I always send an IM and ask if the human behind it - knows its on the wrong land.. or if the human can move it... To get prims back in the lost and found folder are not a fun surprise... or find a build in pieces..

I feel that as polite.... and help full.... ALL so far have moved the prims.. or the houses or what so ever... I should of course do the same as fast as possible.. IRL can of course be a trouble))

What do you do in such case???

I'm in the progress of building a club and quite often people wander in to see the latest developments, or just to see what it's all about. Occasionally they'll spend a while there while I'm not and may end up leaving a few objects lying around. Generally I just tend to return them to the owner and leave it at that.

Builds encroaching on land that I am an officer for are another matter.. I will usually IM the owner and ask them to adjust their build to be back over the land border. So far that's always worked for me too!

My land's just across the sim border from a sandbox, and in a less laggy sim. Occasionally I'll find partial builds on my land, but it's not a big problem. I've got some "guest" vehicles that people can use to sail or drift around the islands, and I've got them scripted to return if they're left anywhere but my land, after a few minutes, but I've still found them in my Lost+Found occasionally, so other people apparently are less laissez-faire about it.

If the person is online, I would IM her to say that he left an object on my plot. If the person isn't, I would just return the objects.

THREAD HIJAAAAAACK!

Sorry... Didn't want to start a new one just for this, and though I've seen others that were more relevant, I can't find one right now -

On my minimap there's a blue dot - and has been for some time. An object of mine. Usually I can reclaim these, by positioning my av directly above, then dragging an 'edit box' around the area directly beneath me. Usually selects whatever I lost, even if it's a long way underground.

No go with this one. I think it's on Linden land, otherwise (I know my neighbours) I'd ask them to just return it. It's as small as any single prim I've lost, so it's nothing massive, but it's been there for a while and is bugging the heck out of me. What to do if a dragged selection in edit won't get it?

Thanks

Try a script that does something like this... put it in an attachment, and walk around touching it...

float range = 96;
integer sense(integer new)
{
  if(new)
    range = 96;
  else
    range = range / 2;
  if(range <= 1.0)
    return 0;
  llSensor("", NULL_KEY, ACTIVE|PASSIVE|SCRIPTED, range, PI);
  return 1;
}

...
touch_start(integer num)
{
  if(llDetectedKey(0) == llGetOwner()) sense(1);
}

no_sensor()
{
  llOwnerSay("Thud");
}
sensor(integer num)
{
  llOwnerSay("Ping "+(string)range);
  
  integer i;
  for(i = 0; i < num; i++)
  {
    if(llDetectedOwner(i) == llGetOwner())
    {
       llOwnerSay("Pinged "+llDetectedName(i)+" at "+(string)llDetectedPos(i));
       return;
    }
  }
  if(num >= 16)
    if(!sense(0))
      llOwnerSay("Squawk! Too crowded");
}

People leave stuff on my land almost every day. Usually it's just a couple of objects, but more than a few times it's been a couple hundred or more. I am bewildered how that can happen. And here's the part that really gets me, most of the time, I don't see anything belonging to someone else on my land, I only know stuff is there by checking "about land." Is there any way to find out what's laying around?

And to answer the original question, I usually just return stuff to people. I know it's a pain in the ass to get 200 thins returned to lost and found, but I figure (hope) maybe they'll be more careful about where they leave their prims laying around in the future.

I have found that if your land is at the "edge" of a sim, someone passing by your land can leave "stuff" on your property because of a well-known bug.

I obtained a nice tool called Scan-Foo from CrystalShard Foo. It will enable you to find any object within a certain range of where the scanner is at present.

I myself send an IM first... and ask.. nice way to get/make a new contact.... )))

AS we are spread all over the world we cant expect that all are online... when ”we” want...prob some of us have a life IR to...

I have also seen lots of prims at lands where i am an officer... prims that are in the list but not seen.. at ground or in the sky....

If I IM and ask the owner- They dont know they are lost or at my place.. and they prob are not.... as one or two days later they are gone..

If we agree of sending them back - they dont get any back)))

A bug maybe...

Yes I have had that same bug too, every other day, for 200 prims here, 300 prims there, and when returned no1 gets anything back.

I've had a couple of paid-for no-copy objects lost that way.

SL really needs a "copy-in-inventory-only" or "rez-one-copy-in-world-only" permission.

I ran into trouble finding out where a bunch of prims were, and found it... waaaaay up. So if you can't find out where they are, might be up in the stratosphere.
