This is my first posting in this area of the SWG forums and I'm very much a business novice so please do bear with me. I placed a vendor in a house this afternoon and an unlocked container which had been dropped elsewhere in the building has been emptied as a result... there was a pile of fishing bait and fishing rods in it but now they are gone! I was going to sell them so I'm obviously keen to get them back... does anyone know how to fix this or who should I report this to?
Many thanks
Many thanks

Unlocked containers are notorious for losing contents. They make good furniture, but after I lost (at the time a lot of money to me) 20 pistols in one I've never used them again.
Submit a CSR ticket for lost items. Put the wp of the container and the server that you are on in the tent. Sometimes things come back after server resets, but maybe it wouldn't hurt to ask the CSR to look at it.

Thanks for the advice. I did send in a /bug and I know not whether they intervened or nature was kind but either way on logging back in, the container was full again and all is well with the world 
(last time i put anything in those containers though)
thanks again

It was probably a server boundary issue. Happens to me occasionally. You put stuff down but when you go to look for it, its gone. A server reset usually fixes that kind of stuff.

if it was a recently dropped container it may still be there
does examine show #/20 or 0/20?
if so pick it up and go throw it in your bank it may rejog the contants inside to be saved
server boundries are notorious for causing items to go empty or seemily poof from your char.
if this is a new spot you moved too, you may want to prepare for such poofage
if its an old one, then its just normal locked container behaviour
{I myself miss nightly server resets..was nice to have variying spawn to eat me instead of the same huurton family growing fat off my body bits}
