chest disappeared on crash

I crashed while lifting a chest out of a sled, inside my village. When I logged back in the chest had disappeared. It's possible there wasn't enough room around me to drop it, but shouldn't it just drop at the first nearest free space available instead of vanish into thin air?
EDIT: Oh heh, nvm. The chest did exactly what it should. It dropped about 20 tiles west, on the other side of a wall. Guess that's what I get for building compact working area's.
