Occasionally we have to return objects to residents who lose them here and there and visitors who drop or rez objects on the islands. At times which are unknown to us, SL “loses” these items. There is some hope of recovery of these lost objects and I hope that this tutorial wiki will help you learn about what the Lost and Found folder does and a complete list of steps a resident can follow to recover any inventory that is missing and is recoverable. The steps outlined are specific to the type of loss that occurred.

Unfortunately everyone has lost inventory in SL. It is the nature of this software when the grid isn’t working at its optimum, or even when it is working correctly, things just happen.

You can follow these steps to keep your inventory working at the very best it can!

I also learned that there is a little off-world program now that can back up your inventory (some of it anyway) and you might want to check it out. Second Inventory
