== 3. Parcel Auto-Return ==

Objects left on parcels they don't belong to are returned automatically based on parcel OtherCleanTime setting.

=== Trigger ===

ILandObject.ReturnLandObjects() is called periodically by the land module. Objects exceeding the parcel's OtherCleanTime are queued for return.

=== Process ===

# LandModule identifies objects that have exceeded their allowed time on the parcel.
# Calls Scene.returnObjects() with the list.
# returnObjects() calls IInventoryAccessModule.CopyToInventory(DeRezAction.Return) for each owner group.
# CopyBundleToInventory() serialises objects, creates assets, inserts inventory items into owner's Lost and Found folder.
# Scene.AddReturn() queues the return notification.
# Scene.DeleteSceneObject() removes objects from scene and database.

; DB writes:
* assets -- INSERT: serialised object XML
* inventoryitems -- INSERT: item in Lost and Found
* prims/primshapes/primitems -- DELETE
