Glad to hear you got your stuff back - and this is good confirmation for anyone who has suffered a mysterious item loss/theft from their building. I'd strongly encourage *all* homeowners to try and go through the steps in post #3 so you end up in the second floorplan - and then check your containers there. It's likely that most will be empty, but it's possible you may come across some long-lost items that were stored in the past which you may have given up for stolen.
Next, I want to clarify that this issue is still an active problem, and will be until December 1 (the server update). I have actually not changed anything (yet). However, before December 1 I'd like all homeowners who (think they are) affected to follow the steps above to get back any lost merchants/items in storage. Because after that, you won't be able to get back lost any lost merchants/items from your building.
Because this is still a problem, I'd strongly recommend everyone *not* place a merchant or store items in your home unless you are certain that no one else on the server is in a building with a floorplan like yours. Tomorrow this will become easier, because you will start getting the debug message telling you what floorplan you are in. And at that point, as long as you are in a floorplan that ends with the number 1, you are good to place your merchant, store items, or improve your interior doors.
