Is it possible you have even just one tile not covered by a claim? This would allow someone to drop the visitor debuff and loot away. The no scents just means it was an inside job, partied the thief, high stealth.

Circumventing visitor just allows criminal acts to happen, there's no bug that at least I'm aware of where someone wouldn't leave scents on claims with permissions set correctly and filled with presence/authority. Sounds like a permission issue or you have a friend that isn't such a good friend.
I seen in another post recently by you that you have a gap in your palisade corner post and a wall. This is likely the case of how someone got inside your place without visitor.
I see from your screenshot, that all village member names have white (color for permissions?) If this is case, and gate was open, ANY PLAYER, kin or not, would have been able to walk in with full permissions, leaving no scents
