If you put up signs, fence in the containers, etc (containing your property), they are breaking the law and stealing from you.
You have only two options really,
1 - Improve your security so either a) scrappers can't get in or, b) scrappers are more reluctant to try.
2 - Find a way to catch them in the act if it DOES happen (whether via cameras or via a $10 an hour security guard etc), you can take action on it and at the very least try to recoup what you lost.
It's just one of those things, people steal, people lie, people are inconsiderate, and all of it costs us money. All you can really do is learn and become better at prevention.
You can also make your local authorities aware, tell them it's happening frequently and they may have an officer in that zone try to keep an eye on it.
