Customizing houses seems to randomly eat stuff.

i've lost so far an oven (east), a dolphin statue, and a set of horse shoes. i checked to make sure they weren't just ejected outside under the sign post because they weren't locked down, but they're definitely not out there (not that the oven would be anyway...). i'm not terribly upset as all of these things are immediately replaceable, it's just another one of those things that has become mildly annoying.

From your house sign, double click and find a menu option for "Relocating Moving Crate". Try checking your moving crate for the missing items.



Also, was this on the live server or the test server?

When you make a customization to a house, if there are obstructions to an addon such as an oven, it will register as an invalid location so what the game does is convert the item to a deed and place it in the moving crate storage. There are also times where the addon is simply removed during house reconstruction

Same thing can happen with lockdowns. There are likely other cleanup methods as well which would cause items to relocate to the moving crate.

Unfortunately, by OSI's design, the moving crate often goes undetected by players as it will not alert you if it has items. This is an area we can improve on in the future to give some kind of "alert" if there are items in the chest.
