Veybold just had all the furniture he'd placed in his new Church to-be disappeared after a server reset.
From the sounds of things, however, the theory is that it's a bug related to (and maybe causing?) server crashes.
In this case, I had placed a score or so placeables, all with no problems (I'll describe my procedures below). I signed off for a few minutes to be sure I didn't get jumped by any assassins (sometimes a man has to chop up a lot of pineapple in advance for cocktails), signed back on - promptly received a message that the server would reset in 30 seconds (server generated shout)... logged back off... and when I came back with another load of furniture, the place had been cleaned out. (No one on server but Daeris and Veybold, and Daeris wasn't close enough to have come by and robbed me of my potted plant, nor any of the rest of it.)
Assuming that the issue being talked about is the loss of placeable furniture and the like, it doesn't look like any crash is required. (If the bug being chased is that placing furniture causes the server crash, however, then this would be a different bug and I'll go report it in the problem section.)
And now, some placement details. I buy the stuff. I go and use a right-click to the use-item option and place things... then I go ahead and, as necessary, right-click the house key, target the piece of furniture in question, and then rotate/pick-up and move/raise or lower as suits my fancy and guesswork using solely the conversation menu. (I sometimes click a number, sometimes use the keyboard to pick a number... and have observed no difference between the two inputs.)
This happened around 12:30 PST 12/22/2014 (the disappearance of all the placeables after the server reset).
The last item I placed was, as I recall, either a throw rug that involved about 90˚ of rotation (clockwise, option 1, as I recall) - or it was the placement of a black chair followed by about 12˚ and change of rotation (counter-clockwise, option 2, as I recall).
All looked well when I exited the property. I wasn't in the property when I subsequently logged off/on/off however... after the reset, I bought some more items (also in Pyarados) and was soon back to my property. It was bare of the new items, but the 2 or 3 placeables I'd put in it previously were still there.
Testing a little more, I placed one of the new items that I'd just brought to the property (a hanging shield), and then rotated it about 90˚ (counter-clockwise), then raised it about 3 "levels".
I then exited the premises, and logged off/on, then re-entered. Shield was still on the wall.
So I then logged off/on inside (while staring at my perhaps soon to be gone bit of furniture). When I logged back on, I noticed that I was outside the property - but I'd logged off inside.
* So I entered again, and logged off/on again. Watching the log on process more closely, I noticed that I began by loading into a "medium house", but then, some part of the way through that, it changed to loading me into "Pyarados - West"... and once again, I was outside the property.
I'm not sure where along in the process it occurred, but it looks like the shield on the wall has lost several, if not all, it's levels "raised".
Just got to feeling like I was losing it (sipping scotch makes one feel like details should be double checked & thorough)... so raised the shield another 3 or 4 "levels"... logged off/on... loaded again to "medium house", then swapped to "Pyarados - West" ... appeared outside, entered... and the shield had been stripped of its "levels".
Hope this is of help.
