That way you can locate them and take the lost item or just give permission to return all your prims. Remember if you give permission to return all your prims, you will receive all prims you have rezzed including your decorations inside your skybox.

How Private is my location?
Avatar privacy hides avatars and text chat from other parcels. You cannot see other residents outside the parcer and those outside are not able to see you.
However skyboxes are located 10 - 15 skyboxes around 120 sq m distance of each other. Skyboxes in parcel next to yours cannot see the avatar. Skyboxes on top or under your rented skybox have a limited chance that someone can look inside your box since avatar privacy land eye is only for skyboxes next to yours.
