Finding Items

When your searching for items on the map and click it and pick it up. Once you move the map slightly, it comes back and you can keep clicking it.

For example:
I find a hammer. I move the map slightly to the left then the same item will re-appear in the same place.

Yes i have seen this a number of times. You have to keep clicking it until it doesnt appear anymore or you wont actually get the item.

I end up refreshing the page to get rid of the item's image which seems like a waste of bandwidth. Some sort of check should be able to be coded to see if you have clicked on the free item or just have a refresh of the map square it rests upon once taken.

I do the same!

but you only get the item once, correct?

I had this happen and at the time was checking my items found in personal stats. The first time I picked it up my items found went up one. It then reappeared on the city map, I picked it up again but my personal stats didn't change. I also only gained one of the items in my items list.
It's like a ghost item after the first official find.

Yes you only get the one item.

i assume that this can be closed now?

Why?
