You don't check for the object. You need to look in the usr's contents for the object, then if you find it, remove/move it.

Look up:
contents
Find
Move

In response to Non-PC
That won't make a difference. Procs and verbs terminate themselves once they reach the end, the only time you need to use return is to exit a proc or verb prematurely or if you need to return a value to the proc or verb that called that proc or verb.
