"Lisa releases snakes" tested.

If this is accurate, then the problem may be that if you whack snakes in your neighbor's town (after you've set the free), then in effect you ARE stealing them. (Or, if the neighbor releases and then whacks in your town, they're "stealing" from you.)

Either way, I'd call that an ANTI-"social" game design. Big thumbs down, EA.

You are taking snakes from people who may have paid for them.

How do they justify that?

Can anyone help with my question? Didn't want to start a thread. Every time I log in I get told I have an egg in the town, I've hunted high and low and cannot find it! I can see additional eggs etc. possible glitch?

Check behind buildings. Some creative users are placing them in hard to find places.

Ive gone on to edit mode see if i can find it. No where to be found! Ech. No worries, thanks anyway!

I have a small test town, so I decided to do the test.
Two ipads next to each other. One with my test town (only myself as a friend). My normal town on the other.
First off, I cleared the test town of all snakes. Leaving me with a total of 65 snakes.
Then in my town, I set Lisa on her task in my test town.
After a few seconds, the number of snakes in the test town, went down to 60.
I saw it happen, and thought she had stolen the snakes.
But, almost immediately after that, 5 snakes appeared. Remember it's a small town. I can practically see everything.
So my conclusion is. She does not steal from you. She sets snakes free. Free to be whacked by you again. You don't lose snakes this way, you just have to work a little harder.

Were you able to go into your test town from your main town, and collect the freed snakes during a visit?

This sounds like lemon tree shenanigans. Will have to keep an eye out, as I didn't notice my count drop. So far, I'm only selecting Other SF when I give Lisa that task. I don't understand why EA would make the game steal snakes though. IF you can get them back, great, but that's still a tedious task since I don't know who would have taken them and now that people are loading up on friends. What if you roll back across levels? Do you lose the item you just got?
