I'm afraid I lost my fire axe to a "glitch" although it should be a rare occurrence. I have an idea of what may have happened, although I cannot control circumstances to test it.

Alright, I was holding my fire axe (using the mouse button to pick it up) to put it back in it's display when an autosave occurred. I believe that is what happened because I dropped the axe and saw the username display in the corner of the screen. I was able to pick the axe right back up though. I didn't think too much about it, but before my next autosave, the server stopped. When I logged back in, no fire axe. Unfortunately, it wasn't in my inventory at the time, so it didn't save there and, because I was holding it, I believe it wasn't considered to be "on the property" so it wasn't saved there either.

So, fair warning, if you are forced to drop something important because of an autosave, you might want to log out or at least re-load to make sure it is in the save file.
