How to proceed in case of Theft?

[FinalBoss]

I am kind of new to this game, but I've already built my claim, with a palisade(locked) and everything.

This day I logged on just to see that my things were stolen. I saw my palisade gate opened(maybe I forgot to close it... , but anyway, I was stolen). The thief left scents, I tracked him down and found out he lives just 30 map squares from my home (I use TP Map Tool).

By the looks, he is stronger than I am and his claim is protected with a palisade. How am I supposed to proceed in such situation? How can I extract some justice from this?

Did you lock your gate? You have to otherwise anyone can open the gate.

For justice, if you can't handle it yourself you can ask people around you for help. Maybe post in the moot and some rangers might be interested, but it's not recommended as they might just raid you again.

I have locks on my gates, but I left them opened(I just forgot to close the gate).

I am not really that much interested in the revenge to the point of risking getting raided again. Mostly, I wanted to learn how to proceed in such cases, but it seems there is not much to be done(how frustrating!).

Locks are my only friends in this world, I've now learned this lesson...

Move far away and in the future remember to close your damned gates.

Leaving gates open will get you killed. If you want to be more secure build a second gate similar to an airlock system. So you close one then open the other. Other than protecting you from running ins it might help you remember to close it.
