Thread: Very Insidius Decoration Bug Uncovered!
I will just post the applicable portion of the CSR ticket I submitted:
I stumbled across part of the reason, and it is a bug:
when a decoration is placed, the mayor has the option to EXAMINE, REMOVE, PICK UP, and ALIGN. When you PICK UP and item that has been placed, it is moved to your inventory, BUT, it is NOT removed from the Structure Report list. It is not removed until you select REMOVE from the radial menu. This applies no matter WHAT you do with the item ounce it has been PICKED UP (not REMOVED). I intentionaly PICKED UP a street lamp (rather than REMOVE) it. I then gave it to a citizen, and he ran it to cornet where another citizen took it from him, and ran it back to me. the whole time, the lamp was being counted against the city structure cap. I then had the individual DESTROY the lamp from inventory, and it was then removed from the structure report.
I have PLACED, PICKED UP, and then given away MANY items. These items are still being counted against the city structure cap. There is no way I can hunt them all down. I need help. This also DOES NOT adress the issue of the report being truncated at 50 items, and there being no way to differenciate between decorations, termoinal, trainers and legitimate structures.
Ouch that is weird. I personally don't see why there is a pickup and remove. Can someone explain this.
That happened to me too. Put it in a pack, and then use the Remove Decoration option that will pop up in it's radial menu. Yeah it'sa bug, but it can be bypassed.

The bad part... if you Place again and then Pickup again, it counts twice 
I am down from 30,000 to 3,000 that I can not account for.
