Posting this because I found it hilarious.
I led the small village of Hobbiton & Hearth. Most of us had quit due to boredom, or like me Real Life issues.
I came back and noticed one of my palisade doors did not work with my slave key or master. So I assumed, it had decayed or someone broke it and raided me.
I was right, it had been changed, though - no scents, and all my stuff gone, I took a look in my cave to get more metal to rebuild what I had lost.
To my astonishment, someone had taken everything in our village and shoved it in the cave, and walled it off!
We had 2 caves, and both had our items in it.
They even dug a nice tunnel that I used later.
Here is when i saw part of the cave that had all my items nicely tucked inside. (File was to big to upload)

I then noticed the tunnel.
after seeing the runestone next to the tunnel which read, something along the lines of "...What items would you like back first?"
I said to my self, "Well all".
Sadly i have no pictures of most of what happened next as it was late at night and I was working quickly.
I built a mineshaft, outside of my palisade. and dug right into the cave.
I then quickly with the help of one who would not be named, grabbed all my items out of both caves with the help of tunnel. (Thanks for digging it :f)
I grabbed all of my important stuff, and then destroyed the rest of it, walled off the cave near the door they had made destroyed their HF and went to sleep.
Later that day I got back on the mineshaft had been destroyed along with the palisade, (they were back) however they did not touch any of my items. i had previously taken, maybe because they had no way out of the village I'm not sure.
All that i left in the cave was the useless stocks of hide i did not need. which is now gone ( I assumed they destroyed it )
and then they walled off the pali again, that way I could surely not get back into the cave. ( Which i did not care. )
Little did they know I got all my items back the metal, and other goodies, and packed it up and had been gone for several hours. (Most photos taken with an alt. )
I destroyed everything else that I thought could be of value or not and just decided to pack up and leave.
So to the smirk idiot, or village who thought it would be funny to ask me which items I would like back of mine, I took them all back and without a hassle. You obviously had no clue how the game mechanics work, and how easy it would be for me to build a minehole right into the cave. So thanks for not taking it back to your village, you made my life easier along with the nifty tunnel.
As for the village of Hobbiton & Hearth, it's all yours I've taken all my goodies and items you stole and have no use for the village anymore.
All in all, the only thing I lost was my Steel / Wrought Iron which was not much.
It was a successful journey.
UPDATE I.
The scum it's self.
UPDATE II.
They Sent a nidbane after me, i'm assuming the scent was from destroying their hearthfire they placed in my area.
They will be sadly disappointed, that I killed it, without a scratch.
