When you make a ticket, you have the option to make it private or public.
If this does happen again, and if the stash spot is special to you, then make a private ticket and report the location and any details you can recall in the ticket.
If there's a bug there, then the more information that the support team has, the better.
As l909 has mentioned, this could be the work of illegitimate players, despite none of the items being removed.
If you do make a private ticket, after you create it, you will need to add a member of the support team as a confidant.
This will probably be on the right side of the page. Add "l909", the moderator in this post, as a confidant.
