Alt vaults is your cheapest option until you get a pali up.
However the safest and most likely successful option is to also move. Chances are your claimed area is not as good as you thought it was, either because it is too close to something people want, or too visible, or too near a large effective operation.

If you only have a stick fence, put a lock on your gate. They have to break it to steal your things.
If you don't have a claim (I skimmed, sorry), you need a claim to protect your things.
You can attack anyone on your property without rage or any criminal skills, not even sure you leave scents. They don't need visitor debuff. If you need some help learning to fight I can give you a quick rundown in PMs.
Main thing is rush a palisade, but given they've been robbing you i'm guessing youve little to no leather.

Better yet, just don't put a gate. Takes 5s to knock a hole in a pole fence with 10 str. (might be a bit longer...) Just repair the hole up after you enter or exit.

I mean yeah, but assuming he lives alone and has no one to share keys with it's just more convenient to have a working gate rather than rebuilding it every night.
Oh, if you want to be somewhat trollish back at the guy... You could put a full stockpile of stone or three in the direct path needed to enter your place. Sure he can raid you, but he'll have to spend 75+ shp to even try

Bashing the stockpile is just one crime, right?

But also requires 30,000 more LP and somewhat heftier/longer lasting scents!
