Caveats

Players may only retrieve objects if they have permission to access the object or container as determined by the appropriate lock settings. Object owners may always retrieve objects they own. Wizards may always retrieve anyone's objects.

If an object has Programming/messages set on it, they will not be displayed if the object is being retrieved from a container.
