My suggestion of having some boxes to pack gear into and lock I thought was an entirely reasonable one and one that would ensure both the security of his gear and the cleanliness of the site in his absence.
Well I did and do have steel boxes for the food and other stuff, it didn't stop some person going into my tent and scattering my gear around tho. What people may have thought was untidy may have been the firewood scattered around the fireplace but firewood always does look untidy.
When I pitched the tent here I wasn't aware that they were going to run a new ski route right past my camp either.
Maybe Bob ( the kassy driver ) did it for a joke as I was at least 50 meters from the previous years run.
If I had been amongst trees perhaps no-one would have known I was there ( in previous years even the rangers didn't know I'd been up there for a long time ) but my camp was always clean if at times a little untidy
