    It's a far cry from

         ;#1234:moveto(#4567)

    to what you just described.

    The original poster wanted an object that could not be moved by anyone else
    other
    than the person who owned it.  One reply answered this request, but the
    code given
    left a loophole that would allow someone other than the object's owner to
    move the
    object.  So, I offered a more robust solution.  Brack also added thoughts
    on how
    to handle a situation where the object in question is a player.

    And you treat the whole exchange like we're all idiots.

    Thanks.
