Lost my Commodity Deed Box - any suggestions on where else to look?

When I came back to UO I had a Commodity Deed Box filled with several types of deeds, barbed leather, relic fragments, a whole bunch of things.

When housing came back up I got it and locked it in the house. Had to customize the house and took everything again...thing is I never found the Commodity Deed Box ever again.

I looked on all backpacks and banks of each character I have. Looked through all the containers inside the house as well...nothing. I'm starting to think that I got the old "you're too heavy, so let me drop this on the floor right here" scenario.

Any suggestions on where to look for it that I might have overlooked? For someone coming back and trying to get on their feet again it's a pretty crappy thing to happen.

you probably did but Im going to ask anyways when you checked all the containers did you check every bag inside the containers bank , and your back pack? did you make sure to move your stuff around it make sure that it might be hidden under something like under a big chest. do you have a beetle ?

I checked all the bags inside containers. I then started to use the EC search function just on the top container as it seems to pick up anything inside no matter where it is located.

I didn't move stuff around just because I'm using the EC with a grid.

I do have a beetle, also checked that, but empty

Thanks for the suggestions

no problem your sure removed it from the house before you customized? this has happened to me when I customized the container went under the steps when I commited the design. last thing unless I think of something else make sure to check every spot in the house you cant see unless you use the trans circle.

Well I even went into customize mode, but seen nothing at the foundation level. Next step would be to demolish the house to be sure...

I have had items fall under the lower floor on the ground

Try control shift keys maybe or page a gm and ask him/ her to look for it

customized mode you won't see it I think everything goes into the moving crate and comes back out when your finished unless you place a wall etc on the tile

Which shard are you on, Theron? I'm guessing it might be Europa? If yes, I should have a commodity deed box from when I had a house there. If I can find it, it's yours.

Thanks Tina, you got it right it's on Europa.
Much appreciated.

If you forgot to lock it down it would have gone out under the house sign did you look there?

How can I do that?
Demolish the house to check under it? I don't have much in it anyway...

At least on CC, pressing Shift and Control at once will highlight names of everything near you, regardless of whether they are under or behind furniture or some such.It is a bit unreliable at times but certainly worth a go.

Edit..already suggested, nm

Have faith and be patient!Often something thought lost shows up in most unlikely container. "DOHH that's where it was?!"

If you are using the EC you need to be sure you have it set to dynamic items... otherwise ctrl+shift will only bring up what you have selected...

And using that ought to bring up anything in your house.

Also when using the EC you can set a filter to "Commodity" so when you hit Ctl Shift only the box will show up. If it does, lock it down and then retrieve it. The option to set the filter is the Object Handler Action - you can add it to a bar and it's located on the Other Tab of the Actions List.

I really hope you're right

It's set for dynamic items, unfortunately nothing came up.

Well, just for closure I demolished the house in hopes to see something but nothing.
Guess it's gone for good. Fortunately @Tina Small lend a hand and gave me a new Commodity deed box along with other goodies, many thanks for that!
That keeps being the big difference between this game and other out there...the wonderful community you just can't quit.
Thank you all for the help.
