Lost A Rare Standard Mortar...

Got excited whenI got a 3rd rare mortar. Opened the game this afternoon and it was gone. Can the devs help? Or at least tell me if I stupidly scrapped it?

 

Actually I combined parts today to get it and it never made it to inventory.
Got this weird error around the same time, may have something to do with it:

 

One user had this problem.

Either you actually scrapped a piece instead of combine, or you misplaced it onto another ship.

 

I checked my other ships of course. I thought I may have scrapped it, but it wasn't until after seeing a rare red piece in the market and checking how many rare red pieces I had in inventory, none, I remembered I had just combined them and got the mortar.

No big deal really, the amount of time it would take me to get all the rare parts to take it to t3 I'll have another.

 

That error is odd. I've never seen that

 

I only noticed it because the game puts that exclamation in the market icon so I click pearls to clear it before grabbing my freebies.

 

update: Rovio customer support said "HAHAHAHA!" There' fail safes in a database and an item can't go missing. Perhaps I scrapped it, dunno.
But we have a happy ending. I got another from a star crate the next day.
