So im sharing this story with you guys now because i think it might be amusing to some.
The irony that I am writing this, basically wasting time, about people who waste time and effort, doesnt escape me.
I have been inactive for quite some time but i am following patches. From now and then enough has changed that I get curious enough to check out the game again, see whats new. So I logged in with an alt of mine just wandering the world looking for interesting stuff, checking out ruins foraging and just basically goofing around.
Among ruins i found a small, unclaimed cave filled with some cupboards, tons of curios (a few decent even) a filled, study desk and some other stuff like an anvil and cauldron. Someone must have been checking out ruins as i have been doing and gathering stuff in that cave. Closeby i was lucky enough to stumble upon a horse that i dragged into the cave and filled a small trough from nearby chicken coops so the poor bugger wont starve. I put a small claim onto the cave and went out exploring again. As it happens i check out a lot of forsaken places. Pretty sure it was this place:

Doors on the west were open, closest plot to that also had open doors open. Place looked forsaken, fields not done for quite some time it seems. I went on to check out the whole plot. For some reason I was able to move free within the surface plot while the plot wasnt decayed. First I thought the claim had decayed but apparently he had permissions set up that way. The minehole was also left open. Downstairs i realize that I am basically stuck because permissions are different than upstairs. Since all doors upstairs were open and i dont want to port home just yet, I decide to take my chances and hope for another open door that lets me leave the place. I have to leave a trespassing scent to be able to move again I start to explore the L1 plot in the mine. To my surprise a big chunk of that plot is not covered by any claim neither pclaim nor any village. So I manage to get rid of my visitor debuff there but i do not find any open doors. I get the sound warning that someone is close and port home at this point. Anyways I do not have the criminal acts to free himself nor would I care for using them and leaving scents, no point sticking around.
After this, I log out.
When I log back in about an hour or two later, I get noticed that the space I have logged out at is occupied. I log back in standing in front of a runestone saying “Stop messing with my village – bitch”. All the random crap that was lying around from the guy that abandoned the place in that small cave was bashed, anvil, cauldron, stockpiles, study desk, herbtable and trough. Every other tile is covered with stockpiles of feathers and whatever. My horse and my through is missing. After I get rid of that runestone to reach the surface I realize the entrance has been blocked with logs, the horse has been slaughtered butchered and scattered. Also my small claim was bashed and the leftovers from the ruins around were also bashed.

After i freed myself and removed quite a few of the stockpiles.

Surface, lots of logs and that pile of goo seems to be my horse. He went full hannibal lecter on the poor sucker.
Day after I come back to check it out and find the runestone was renewed with a different little love letter attached. Also he put down some more stockpiles and rearranged them. Somebody must be bored... damn...
I am kinda amused that someone would go through that much trouble. That someone would actually spend that much time, tracking that trespass scent and also all the effort to bash some random ruin and even leave a runestone. That must have cost quite a bit of time.
Time, that would have been much better spent fixing that GLARING security hole in that base of yours. Are you aware that by not claiming your cellar someone with the right skills can actually get rid of visitor debuff and wreck your stuff? Well I guess you will be spending that extra time now.
I for my part will keep exploring to check out more new stuff.
