Yes,You can get your scrap back ! The option "Hide" does not delete the message, just remove the comment from your page until someone sends a new answer.
The word hide means the scrap is removed from your scrapbook/profile and if you need the scrap follow the steps :-
1)Contact the person who sent you the scrap or the other person like you who received the scrap
2)Ask him to go to the scrap which will be seen in his update and post a comment/reply in that scrap
I also suggest the users to go through these threads too for learning more about the features of new orkut

Orkut privacy feature allows someone to lock scraps from strangers, but there is no official way to lock and hide scraps from your friends. If you have got something personal in your scrapbook or simply want to hide scraps from your friends, you can now do this by using another Orkut feature. Well, you won't be able to hide all your scraps or entire scrapbook from your friends, just a limited no of scraps (though there is no specified limit). We will use Orkut spam feature to hide scraps from our friends. Orkut spam filter is designed to filter all spam looking scraps (scraps with rich text, HTML tag, flash contents, external links, external images etc) and send them to the spam box associated with your profile. This spam box is visible to you only. Now if you intentionally mark a scrap as spam and move it to the spam box, that will get hidden to all of your friends and the scrap will be visible to you only. # Navigate to your Orkut scrapbook. # Select the scrap that you want to hide from friends. # Click on report spam button to move that scrap to your spam box. # Now that scrap will be visible to you only and none of your friends can see it. # You are done.
