If you drop an object, it's gone.  If you recreate an instance of the
same kind of object and insert it on a List, it's a different object.  
(And the variable you assign the object to is incidental.)

Garbage -- that's a programming error.  Also note that dropping an
object does not mean it is removed from the lists that reference it.

(Btw, this is really a question for swarm-support, not swarm-modelling.)
