Derrits, there's no physical way for another client without the proper user permissions to delete, alter, or remove the 'inventory' of another user. This is all server-side, thus streamed to your client. For them to get your stuff either they hacked the server-side permissions (e.g. they got access to a Linden account) or they hacked your account (keylogger and the like). The explanation of the asset server follows because items can and do disappear because of errors within the DB that contains said assets. This tends to follow whether it's the most high tech DB deployments or a MUD's flatfile, it works on the same premise(s). :-P
