Locate Object - Wonkiness?

[Aldren]

While casting locate object on one of my alts (Trathas), my search was for "c 'locate object' amulet with"... The results were mostly normal - some from the Corpse Conservatory, some from the Luggage Storage.. But at the tail end of it, I saw a few things that looked familiar...

a dark bronze amulet trimmed with darksteel in somewhere.
a purple gold amulet embossed with seven silver stars in somewhere.
a blue silver amulet trimmed with brushed platinum in somewhere.
an azure silver amulet trimmed with darksteel in somewhere.

Now, I recognized all of these items as belonging to one of my other ALTs (Nerian)... Except some of them were on the character, some were on his horses, some were on a horse stabled at the time (and was not online, so don't understand why it was searching for items that were not loaded in-game)?

This is, kind of odd to me? Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

My guess is that the location was invisible to you because of something mundane (a hidden NPC carrying it or perhaps it was dark at the objects' locations). I have not had this issue.

I did at one point have locate object show items that one of my ALTs had on his person, showing up as if the char was online but not greeted.

I have seen that happen if the other player very recently logged off (in the last minute or two), but not otherwise.

Its been a strange occurrence for a number of years. It comes and it goes, I'd say its unfixable.
