> > My question is how I can have the hammer in one frame and not have it in the next one??? I no longer have the crate as it's in a shack's cellar and there's no way I can get that hammer again. I had it once. Does it disappear from my inventory and have to be "reclaimed' any time I enter the Stable??? Is this usual or a glitch in the game itself? Thanks for any help. Banan

You lose the hammer to the guy in the stable sometimes. I'm not sure if it's upon entering or leaving, but it does mention in the description text that the guy sees it and makes you give it back.

You can get the crate back if you have the rope. That's all you need for it.
